AI overview

I can't write the overview based on the context provided, as it only contains a photo caption describing children in traditional clothing at Liberty Weekend, without any definitional or explanatory information about what a "child" is or why the concept matters. I would need actual substantive context to create an accurate overview.

A child () is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty, or between the developmental period of infancy and puberty. The term may also refer to an unborn human being. In English-speaking countries, the legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, in this case as a person younger than the local age of majority (there are exceptions such as, for example, the consumption and purchase of alcoholic beverages even after said age of majority), regardless of their physical, mental and sexual development as biological adults. Children generally have fewer rights and responsibilities than adults. They are generally classed as unable to make serious decisions.
