  • If its a 18yr old or older with a girl or guy under 18 its ilegal in America if its another country couldnt tell you

    • But do you think police should be called

    • Police won't do anything if ones 17 an other is 16 so can't get arested so it wouldn't be a good idea to call cops might have legal oroblems come from trying

    • Mean if one was 17 or 16 and other 30

  • If it's illegal it's illegal

  • Even if the teen is 16 or 17 but having sex with an adult, the police should be called as the act is still illegal.

  • Depends on where you're from, 16 could be considered consenting age and therefore the cops won't do anything unless it is a parent or guardian doing the calling.

    • What if it's illegal, do you think police should be called?

    • If it's illegal then yes.

  • It would depend on who initiated it. If the adult persued the teenager then call the police, if the teen persued the adult then getting the police involved may not stop it from happening again, the teen may just move on to the next person and be more secretive about it so the parents don't find out.
    Kids sneaking behind your back and not telling you where they are causes more problems than it solves.
    Talking to the teen and try to figure out why they felt the need to be sexual with an adult may be a better choice of action. If the teen feels that the parent is against them and hates them then there is no easy resolve, being open and honest on both parties is the only way to resolve the issue.

    • Hmmm ok

    • I disagree the adult is still guilty because the adult should have stopped it. It’s not about who initiated it because the full responsibility lies on the adult.

    • Open communication between kids and parents solves more issues than it causes, children of all ages need to have trust in their parents before they will be willing to be honest and open.

  • Why would that be such a big deal?

    • I don't know it's just what some people said

    • Why don't you make your own judgment and not depend on other people?

    • I think it's fine, but I want to see if people agree or not

  • Well 16 or 17 isn't legal where I am so they definitely go to jail for that here

    • But do you think police is needed in that case

    • Depends on how old the other party is

    • What if they are 30

  • Teens are not above the law. If this is about teens having sex with adults like your description says, then I say it depends on the age of consent in your area. It's legal where I I've.

  • Uh yeah it’s stat rape at 16. 17 is grayer, but I’d call anyway.

    • Alright

  • Depending on the age of consent where you live yeah

  • Where I live, the age of consent is 18.
    so my answer is no, you should call the police.

    • but if they 16 or 17 they old enough understand who they sleeping with they not being raped its not like they 13 14. Moral/ethics arnt the same as laws. If age consent 8 would you just think its ok to fuck children.

  • I think its not problem they are almostlt same ages.

    • I have to agree

    • I mean does it matter if they are 16 or 17 or 18?

    • They all enough for sexualty. If you banned them sex they eill go home watch porn and masturbating. I think it better sexualty and love

  • I don't care unless it's forced.

  • Depends on the country they are, i think.
    If the law considers them underaged at 16 and 17, than you should call the police.

    • Alright

  • Sending people to jail for making love is psychopatic... Most cultures had age of consent at pubity not too long ago. Now 30 year old. womem call themselves girls, so it is questionable if they can give consent with such an infantile mind. Age is just a number, what matters is consent. If adults who call themselves adolescents can, adolescents can fuck too. And they do no. matter what stupid laws say...

    • Okay

    • Making love requires a certain maturity of mind. Rape or fucking like an animal doesn’t

    • What is wrong with fucking like animals? We are animals who pretend to be more after all

  • Depends on the local laws, and also on the age difference. It can get very complicated.

  • Yeah, if it's with the consent of the teen and the adult is not in a capacity to exert any undue influence, then it's okay, I guess

  • Depends on consent and age differences imfao

  • Why are so many people worried about what people do behind close doors. If i kid complains they are being hurt help the kid. Otherwise it ain't your worry right or wrong.
