At the end of the day, children still need their parents. Like I said, which you agreed, not all parents are as bad as you describe. Why do you take such an incredible dim view such as "at the mercy of their parents"? Honestly, that is sad.
I understand what you are saying and I do agree that sometimes it would be better for the child to make her own decisions then go home and get beat up and demoralized by her parents, but as you said, this isn't a perfect world. Would you rather have your kids going out and having sex knowing they don't need to care what you think because they can do whatever they like? Kids are kids for a reason. They need parental guidance at such a young age. This is why we still need parents to guide and assist them especially at such crucial times.
You said the most important thing is that parents be more then parents but again I quote you, this isn't a perfect world.
Anyway, to sum this all up, Indeed I agree with some of what you say. Where sadistic, unloving parents are concerned, kids should not need to go to them for permission for anything. But where loving parents are concerned, such a law will be a disadvantage. I suppose it all depends on circumstance. There is no right and wrong in my opinion for such a rule. It has its advantages and disadvantages.
