I never claimed minor and child are the same. I am talking about the **dictionary** definition of child (which dictates the meaning of the word)... It is as follows:
> a. a young person especially between infancy and puberty
>
> b. a person not yet of the age of majority
As you can clearly see the definition does not claim the "legal" source is called a "minor" it clearly includes it in the definition for the word child.
