Children are pawns to white supremacy and fascism. The literal property of parents. Parents which are in a sense, owned by fascist governments. Fascists need to protect children not because they believe children deserve protection but instead because they are future fascists and have value as labor.

People don't afford more than thoughts to disenfranchised children. A charitable interpretation would be that the phrase is meant to convey "advocate for children" but that's just not the truth of the situation. The loudest people pleading for the safety of children are not interested in youthlib.
