Time for a board HOT TOPIC Discussion
Indiana has passed a new law that it is now legal for a 14 year old to have sex with an 18 yr old or older person.

My first thought upon seeing this was this is a really bad idea.

My concern with our law in Canada is not kids having sex with other kids. Not ideal but a couple of 16 year olds, at the same emotional level more or less or within a couple of years is not that damaging. However 50 year old men luring 14 year old girls (and boys)
I was going to say the exact same thing as you, Cathi!

"Do you think that if this law wasn't passed then it would STOP 14 year olds from having sex? Do you truly think this is a license for them to have sex?"
I do think it will stop most 18 year olds from preying on 14 year olds if they know they can do jail time.
Can't believe they would do that :( but I would have to see the law in writing and I would email/phone my senator or person I voted for and check it out.
Off Topic -- my 13 yr old daughter wonders if there is a site for the kids to email one another?

Yup, it's that how young girls became known as JAIL BAIT?

I know i don't have to even read this news to know i am against it!!! I know i will keep my girls from sexual activity as long as possible....without keeping my head in the sand about this issue. i have told my girls what boys want at their age, and I will keep emphasizing that they can be friends with boys, and that's IT.
my question is this: do you know where your kids are? Then how can you say there's nothing we can do about the sex issue?
My 11 and 13 yr. old will not be going anywhere where they can have sex...their school monitors the halls and bathrooms and everywhere else.
I do not allow boys to come over or for them to go to boys' houses, so where would the 14 yr. olds be having sex? Unless they are latch-key kids and unsupervised, then how is it happening?
My kids are not left alone with boys, so it's not happening at my house
