Some of my favourite memories involve being out with my friends walking around well after midnight, having discussions that would most certainly not be had in the presence of any of our guardians.

Depends. If it's a _child_ proper, like under the age of 14-15 at the _highest_, then no. If they are old enough to be their own person, then yes, absolutely.

The law doesn't say parent or guardian. Only an adult. It can be a parent, sibling, friend of the family, whatever.

> Depends. If it's a _child_ proper, like under the age of 14-15 at the _highest_, then no

The law applies to children aged 16 and younger.

Same still applies for anyone who is not one of the threeish people I had in my close circle at that point.

> The law applies to children aged 16 and younger.

I said I disagreed with what the law states, and listed my reasons. I know it's 16 and younger, I said that I believe it should be 14, or 15 at the absolute highest.

16-year olds aren't children.

According to icelandic law a person under the age of 18 is a child.

That doesn’t make it true.
