I think it's a perfectly mammalian impulse to offer special protections to children, unable to defend themselves and more than usually susceptable to death.
I know what you mean about the bleh of the ubiquitous "for the sake of the children." I'm sick of it, and would like most things in this world to be geared for adults ... with parents solely responsible for protecting their kids. But it's simply a mainstay of the custodial (motherly) role to protect offspring uber alis.
