    No sh!t.

    It really is amazing that back in the day, it was normal for 13-14 year old girls to be married, having children and running a household. Girls that age today only seem capable of listening to Hannah Montana and hanging out at the mall.

    That's such a vulnerable age for girls sexually, too. Their bodies are changing into a womanly form, but they simply don't have the mental or emotional maturity to deal with the attention it inevitably brings. I remember going to the lake with a girlfriend of mine at that age and her dad said some really pervy and inappropriate things to me whenever he cornered me alone. I never went back with her again, and his words left me very confused and ashamed.

    I really wish we lived in a world where people didn't treat children like sex objects. It's very disturbing and so, so wrong. Poor things. :(

    It really amazes me that this is even a crime. I mean, if she wants it and all. What's the big deal.

    Oh don't start. :rolleyes:

    If a 13 year gets drunk, shoots heroin, and then goes for a high speed joy ride in her daddy's new Lexus just because she WANTS to, is that not a big deal either?

    Kids want lots of things that aren't necessarily good for them. That doesn't mean they should get it and that's where responsible parenting of these children comes into play.

    No, she's to young to drink, heroin is illegal and she doesn't have a driver's license.

    You don't need a permit to screw.

    It's also illegal for dirty old men to take advantage of that.

    Come on....I know some of you guys love to stick your dicks in anything, but a 13 year old kid????? Not cool.

    I'm just kidding. That guy that I arrested for screwing his 12 year old niece got sentenced last week.

    He got 14-17 years in prison.
