It's always the right choice to protect children. Things they need protected from: low self-esteem, mental/physical/sexual abuse, exploitation, bullies, manipulation, substance use, and so much more. They need us to show them how to live in such a way that they will grow up to protect themselves. But in the mean time, they need our help even if they don't ask for it. And fuck if we as a society try to diminish what all these things look like or how little things can easily lead to them. It feels so good to do what is right but it's hard af to fight against a culture of generations that just don't get it.
