(2,702 posts)I certainly don't remember a similar case receiving this much national attention and whipping people up into a hysteria because of all the misinformation getting put out there. I'm still not sure how you can blame the victim's family for what this has become now.
Maybe the answer is to include a review of the applicable age of consent laws in sex education classes like someone else suggested before. I don't think we should expect parents to be okay with their 14 year olds being sexually involved with 18 year olds - or in your example 13 year olds possibly being sexually involved with 19 year olds. I especially don't think we should expect parents to be okay with a third party undermining their authority as parents by encouraging them to break the rules. The parents warned her to stop twice, and when she wouldn't stop, they did what they had to do to make her stop.
