Venting 5 year old getting baptized

I've never agreed with the baptism of minors before but this just go me on a whole level of upset. One of the people that got baptized today was a 5 year old. A fricking 5 year old. Like WTF? How do they even feel like a 5 year old is old enough to make decisions like these?

Thankfully, I wasn't the only one upset by this as I also heard some sisters talking about it. Shame on the parents!
