In the example above, the guardians of the baby made a decision for that person.
The baby, when older, is free to disassociate from that country and join another one, or do as they please.
So, in other words that forced "association" without consent became null, void.
In other words, nobody can force you to do anything without your consent, right?

The parents are the legal guardians of the child

Note: It should be noted that a named living person has not claimed guardianship and therefore responsibility over the child.
Sure, if a person in the middle of the wilderness has a kid, then yeah, like any other animal, there's no responsibility over the child.
But in a particular society, there are rules, and they protect the kid for example so that the parents have responsibilities over the child if it is born in that country.
By using the word parent you are implicitly assuming a society. Language is not created in a vacuum. It needs a society.
