    This isn’t fully true. In very narrow circumstances a child can indeed be required to give consent, sign contracts, or make pledges.

    Very low hanging examples: Employment contracts when working under the age of 18, drivers license/state ID related applications, and children 16 or older are typically able to give consent and sign documentation for healthcare.

    Not to mention, emancipation exists.
