I don't think your example is valid in response to my comment. It seems to be a straw man that is also at the same time argumentum ad absurdum.
I don't feel it's appropriate to write more thoroughly on the topic, but it suffices to say that respecting autonomy and privacy and making age-appropriate loosening of restrictions is, in my opinion, important for the development of personal responsibility, critical thinking, and life skills that serve in adulthood and crucial to childhood development. Parents are responsible for safety and guidance, and as children get older, the slider moves more towards guidance and less towards safety. I allow my children to do all sorts of "risky" things if they do so in an informed manner.
