Statutory rape should only apply when a person who is the age of majority (or age of consent) has sex with a minor (or under age of consent), it should not apply when it's two consenting children. | |

SCNDLS said: amorbella said: She shouldnt have even been left alone with a boy long enough to have sex. Hell NO!!! At 12, you go to school, go straight home, and are never left unattended. What if you're a working mother? I was a latchkey kid from 2nd grade until I graduated from high school. My mother worked TWO jobs the ENTIRE time and worked on her Bachelor's and Master's. She left the house at 6 am and didn't come home until 10 pm, five days a week. I was responsible for getting myself to school and getting back home by 4:30 pm. If I was another type of child I woulda been having all kinds of parties and boys in the house and could have very well gotten pregnant. I could have been anywhere, doing anything, and my mother would have never known. However, I had a healthy fear of my crazy ass mama which kept me in check and from getting outta contral. Kids today are VERY different and even the good ones are indiffirent to authority. So what do you do if you're a parent? I don't have kids but I certainly empathize with those that do, ESPECIALLY single parents. Thank you for saying this. I was latchkey too w/ 2 parents in the house from 2nd grade on up. Luckily I wasn't popular or seen as pretty so there was no problem w/ boys But parents do what the fuck they can do the best they can (good ones, at least) & can't be in their kids faces every minute of every day. Even when they have time like that every kid hits that point where they break away from their parents & start making their own rules, like it or not. Kids are a crap shoot man, parents can only do so much... | |

I can picture a dumpster thrower coming from a home like that, being SOOOOO freaked out by what they're parents will do/say... .

I think to say that a parent didn't get the job done, if their child ends up pregnant, is a lil' too far reaching...every family has a differnt dynamic...what works in one household isn't necessarily gonna hold water in another...
however, I think alot of parents simply teach their children what is right and what is wrong...they teach what is acceptable and what isn't...they then fail to teach that there are connsequences for your actions...maybe it's fear, maybe it's embarassment but they don't/won't/can't go into explicit detail that kids really need to hear...most children already know whats right and wrong without being told...but few grasp the reality of how becoming sexually active at a young age can affect the entirety of their life... | |

In theory that's all well and good, but in my case, we couldn't afford aftercare and we didn't have ANY other family in the city we live in. Besides, my mother worked til 10 pm until I was out of high school. So what then? It's really easy to take a simplistic view at solutions but in the end, kids will always find a way to do what they want to do. Even if a parent is at home all day, every day. | |

Wow! That is some hardcore denial I never understand parents who have OBVIOUSLY fucked cuz they have a kid(s) and then act like their kids are never going to do it. I talk openly about sex with my nephews to the point of embarrassment if that's what it takes for them to know what is up. 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |
