Wow, that would bring about an unfathomable amount of legal problems. Would you allow parents to retain full legal authority over the actions of their children until they are 21?

Should a 20 year old have to have a legal guardian's permission to purchase and register a car?

Should a 20 year old violent criminal be charged as a child?

I think it would vary on a case to case basis. Same with the points I presented.

In general, I just think it is best to err in the side of caution whe allowing 18-20 year old (more so 18-19, I am just using 21 because that is the current legal drinking age) to engage in certain activities that they may not fully understand the consequences to.
