--- Comment #2 from Owen Leonard <oleonard at myacpl.org>  ---
You can't pass a category to the add child screen because the category is
unknown at that stage. The form passes the category type only, and the add
child entry form automatically preselects the first available category under
the 'C' category type. Theoretically, there could be any number of
sub-categories to the "Child" category type.

In fact the only time when this works properly is when you begin patron
creation by choosing a specific patron category. What if you start by creating
a patron with one category but you change your mind and instead choose a
different category from the drop-down menu on the patron entry form? You'll
still have the defaults from the patron category you started with.

The only way around it would be to create some method for refreshing the
messaging defaults with values based on the currently-selected patron category.
I can picture some kind of AJAX-based method for this, but I don't see how you
can fix this simply.
