Proper protection of children

How should children and youths be protected while permitting them to have sex?

Simply emancipating them - making them equally free and equally unprotected to adults - is likely to be dangerous to many children, and meet resistance of adults who care about them.

So... how about requiring children to meet a higher standard of consent and safety than adults - but one which is still not impractically difficult to meet?

Or preferrably, several higher standards - meaning, several alternative ways of meeting the goal of adequate protection. Again, the goal being that horny children could reasonably meet at least one of the bars (and if they can meet none, they still can wait till they reach chronological age and be rid of these restrictions).

Note that while adults do have legal recourse against forcible rape, like they do against robbery and theft, while plenty of laws will protect the property of a consenting adult against sundry kinds of fraud and deceit, in most jurisdictions consenting adults are completely unprotected against fraud leading to sex. Actions for seduction and breach of promise having been abolished in most places, consenting adults are on a strict caveat emptor basis whether they are having just sex, marriages or babies.

So, what fair standards could be offered to minors willing to consent to sex?

(Yes, it means treating them unequally and discourages their partners, especially adults, from consensual sex. But allowing sex under certain restrictive yet reasonable conditions can still be better than making sex forbidden and a crime regardless of circumstances, which is the present position.)
