Question:
Is it permissible for the adult to exempt himself, then who exempts the young ones?
Answer:
It is correct that the 'aqiqah is upon the father, not upon the child; it is a recommended practice (sunnah) for the father. So if the father did not perform it, the child owes nothing. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
