"What is the average/mean age of these idiots? 15? 14? 13?"
"It's bloody obvious that they don't understand how the Adult world works ..."
No , they don't.

I'm sure there are a few exceptions but in general - not.

"What grounds do we have to violate their human rights and force them to conform to our societal norms?"
When breaking those norms means you commit a crime then yes - you need to conform. Don't like it? Fine, piss off and live in a cave or move to another country. And don't start shotgunning the phrase "human rights" around when you clearly have sod all idea or what they are or where responsibilities fit into the equation.

A piss poor attempt at moral equivalence. Do try a bit harder.
