Firstly, we don't force them 'no matter what'. Secondly, children are not legally responsible for themselves, the parents are. They are incapable of fully comprehending the situation they are in due to the fact that their brains are not yet fully developed. As a result, it is down to someone with a fully developed brain to make the decisions for them. Seriously, how is this confusing you? Would you not give your kids vaccinations just because they didn't want it because they're scared of the needle? Of course not. But why you ask? Because the child doesn't understand that if it doesn't get these vaccinations, there is a very good chance they will catch a disease and die. And that is why we don't give them a choice.
You're right that children are not fully able to comprehend the situation. That's why we pass the decision to the parents who are able to comprehend and also have the best intentions for the children.
Except for when they don't.
