Because it's such a fuzzy line, and this is such an adult site, we've decided that it's best to avoid any mention of minors at all. I have memories from my own childhood too that I'd like to share with you all, but once we open that door, it's really hard/tricky to specifically decide exactly what is or isn't inappropriate.
Personally, I'd urge the mods to approach this subject with more nuance than the "no mention at all" rule, especially with respect to analyzing childhood memories of our experiences that actually happened to us when no adults were involved all at, particularly with respect to how it affected us personally.
While I do see how this could be abused, I also think there'd be no better forum to air these kinds of very personal, sometimes traumatic memories, and I'd trust the moderators to use their judgements regarding whether a particular such conversation verges into an area of sketchiness, rather than a blanket prohibition. That would be my vote.
