   Foul, Subversive AntiAmerican Libertarian Perverts Endorse Child   
   Prostitution.   
   Is Kiddie Porn Next?   
   1994 National Platform of the Libertarian Party   
   We oppose all laws that empower government officials to seize children   
   and make them  "wards of the  state" or, by means  of child labor laws   
   and compulsory education,  to infringe on  their freedom  to  work  or   
   learn as they  choose.  We oppose  all legally created  or  sanctioned   
   discrimination against (or  in favor of)  children, just as we  oppose   
   government discrimination directed  at any other  artificially defined   
   sub-category of human  beings.  Specifically we oppose ordinances that   
   outlaw adults-only apartment housing.   
   We also support  the repeal of  all laws establishing any  category of   
   crimes applicable to  children for which adults would not be similarly   
   vulnerable, such as  curfew, smoking, and alcoholic beverage laws, and   
   other status offenses.   Similarly, we favor  the repeal of  "stubborn   
   child" laws and  laws establishing the category of "persons in need of   
   supervision." We call  for an end  to the practice in  many states  of   
   jailing children not  accused of any crime.  We seek the repeal of all   
   "children's codes" or  statutes which abridge  due process protections   
   for young people.   We further favor  the abolition  of  the  juvenile   
   court system, so  that juveniles will  be held fully  responsible  for   
   their crimes.   
   ...   
   Children should always  have the right  to establish their maturity by   
   assuming administration and  protection of their  own  rights,  ending   
   dependency upon their  parents or other guardians and assuming all the   
   responsibilities of adulthood.
