Having the age of consent overlap with the period of time that a person is fully dependent on their parents opens the child up for quite a few abuses. In particular, the parents may force their child into prostitution at such an age. Naturally, because the dependent is fully dependent, they will have no real say in the matter - the parents will simply argue that the dependent child is having consensual sex even if they are obviously not, and the child will be forced into agreeing for the sake of having a meal.

There are sufficiently many abhorrent parents that this will absolutely happen - in large numbers - if we lower the age of consent. In order to prevent this, the age of consent cannot be too low. This is for the protection of the child in question, they need to be able to escape abusive parenting scenarios as safely as possible.
