This has nothing to do with children. It's a proposal by technologically inept people who argue that encryption needs to be removed but encryption is so basic that it isn't really feasible to do so. You can make the access harder but that is only an issue for your average joe. Individuals with criminal energy who this is supposed to be about will continue to encrypt their communication while regular users will give up their privacy.
