Exactly! How can you make the presumption that a 6 year old child (for example) can give their consent?

If you take the defintion of rape as 'to force someone to have sex when they are unwilling', the act of consent is removed from the equation - the police / social services / whoever may not always get it right, but the laws (in this case those governing statutory rape) are there to protect everyone, whether they are 6 or 60.
