No, they're not. At least, children in general don't enjoy the full rights of a legal adult person. Traditionally children were viewed as property of the parents, and in many senses that's still true. Read 'adult chimpanzees' if you must.

Chimp, not person. Young people, not a full person. Corporations? Obviously a person.

Apologies for the snark.

If corporations couldn't own property and enter into legal disputes, the world would be pretty messy.

If 5-year-olds could file lawsuits... the world would be pretty messy.
