This is probably what the Angels of Final Justice
are hanging around the gates of Hell to take care of.

Hellsworn who is only there 'cause of an infernal
Force taken when the kid was age 10? Okay, they
might pass Calvin through, but everyone else is
far more likely to be bounced... somewhere.

Unless they're properly damned for other reasons,
of course -- but if demons are going around just
trying to Oathbind the kids, then trying to make
sure that they're all _awful_ brats is going to be
like herding cats.

Not to mention that Oath-taking, IIRC, requires the 
person to be aware that he or she is signing away his
or her soul. Not just _told_ this, but be _aware._
No jokes, believe, or it ain't working...


I mean, if you want to add the thing with baptism 
overriding it somehow, that's one thing -- but the
as-written setup pretty well makes the "loophole"
less than profitable for the Princes to agree to.
