Children self-protect/adults abstain: Mutual submission under the biblical context

What is children self-protect? Child empowerment, based on the concept that children have the capacity to defend themselves. They have the right to tell me off every time I make them feel uncomfortable, and they know it. Children self-protect is the core of my view of how childhood should be defined in the future. But, adults abstain.

It says in Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things, as is well-pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, as is this is well-pleasing unto the Lord.

The Greek root word "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the care, safety, and protection of parents. Children can be themselves in relation to parents, say anything to them, disclose anything to them, including things that society would punish - yet they know parents never punish! This is prompted by Christian love, denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to submission to children as their enemy, seeking to be their friend, sacrificing for children, just as Christ sacrificed for His children, expecting absolutely nothing in return, rendering oneself beneath a child, devaluing yourself as her dutiful servant.

Part of serving a child's needs, in terms of good works, is protecting them from your own menace in terms of abuse. It is the conviction that all adults are abusers in terms of capacity, and that you have a child abuser within you that you need to reel in and center, so that it doesn't come out towards a child. Abusing a child is a choice, as taking the steps to center one's entitled tendencies towards children. 

A child has the right to defend herself in relation to adults, including by swearing or saying "you're a creep, go away". Children can tell when the sexual entitlement of an adult is pointed at them, and then they try to distance themselves. Only, in our society, nobody believes the child. But, though children can defend themselves, that doesn't take away from my duty to center and chasten up my own entitlement in relation to children, so the child does not have to worry much about abusers circling over them. She can wear a tank top in the summer, or a two-piece swimsuit, and expect to be treated with respect by adults, and if an adult is out of line and offends the child sexually, from the slightest of offensive gaze, the adult is at fault.

This concept applies to ALL parenting, not just avoiding sexual entitlement in relation to children. This concept can be applied to physical or verbal violence or abuse, including of the lawful type. Children have the right to defend themselves, and be outspoken about it, but adults have the duty to know their risk in relation to children, be convicted of said capacity, and choose not to abuse children in any way they perceive as an offense, meaning anything they find offensive in any way or light.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them suffer in the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices. Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
