It is the Adults responsibility to protect the Children and this includes from people who want to have sex with them.

Where was this responsibility written and why do you assume it is your responsibility to stop other people from making decisions you consider to be "wrong," but which have nothing to do with you?

It can cause huge psychological trauma and i would rather no child do that.

It can be. Just like agreeing to a bad deal with a car salesman could be later on. What is your point? We legislate against the making of bad decisions, especially opinion-based bad decisions?

While i am a limited Government person, I think the government has perfect right to try and protect children from going through that trauma.
