 * ProtectedRoute is a wrapper component that ensures only authenticated users

 * @param {Object} props - The props passed to the ProtectedRoute component.
 * @param {React.ReactNode} props.children - The children to render if the user is authenticated.
 * @returns {React.ReactElement} The children wrapped in a protected route or a redirect to the login page.
