Children *ARE* HUMAN.

"Children are inferior than adults and don't have rights"

Now you might think people don't actually say this. Nope. I actually had a 17 year old say this to me. That's what he used to justify slavery (aka. mandatory school)

Anyways, this is a dehumanization tactic and what they use to justify this is saying they're underdeveloped so that means they're inferior and they should obey the adults

X is inferior than Y, always has been used to dehumanize people.

Also children aren't owned, just because you're their parent DOESN'T mean you own them.

Humans should NOT be owned so children aren't owned, teens aren't owned and adults aren't owned.
