Thing is Iza most people know the law but have their opinions and you probably won't change their mind.  The thread was asking for opinions and you've stated the law and that's a good thing but if people don't want to be educated or take on your opinion you really can't make them.   In my view we are supposed to protect children and these laws are in place for that very reason for the protection of children and quite frankly if I knew it was going on I'd be asking the police for advice on how to handle it out of concern for the child's wellbeing.   But thats me and I accept not everyone agrees with that view.

Bella, I thought that was how you felt from your post early on

In some states being 2 years older is also an issue.  Seriously a 21 yo and a 15 yo, one has to ask ..."

I am thinking as a Mother ...if either the 15 or 21 yr old was mine I would be concerned.The law comes into that ,the well being of a child and the legal accountability of the 21 year old should lines be crossed.

This is a discussion.I post because I found some of the information interesting and of concern ...if they aren't to some posters here.I don't care really.Maybe the info may be of interest to others who don't even post.They were to me.
