just as aggie has put it kids are growing up a lot faster now, therefore this fact should neccessitate the need for repeal of laws that do not recognise these

The laws in quesiton aren't old laws in Western countries but laws that got written in the last decades.

it is still somewhat a moral obligation of the parents to see that some reasonable boundaries exist for their children for some measure of safety...if not the parents, the child, society will suffer the consequences in an expansive and expensive rippling effect.

The question about what rules parents should have for their children and what rules the government has to enforce are two different questions.
Government should only interfere in personal liberty when it has strong reasons to do so because everyone in society has to live with those decisions.
Parents on the other hand can put up strict rules for their children if they wish without infringing in the freedom of people outside of the family.
