Sorry, my thoughts are usually ahead of my fingers. I assume I have already filled someone in when I actually haven't. Yes, my daughter is two and that is the one who was molested. My other two are 12 and 15 going on 30! You know how it goes:) When I think about children being molested I think about a very distinct age group. I would see the cut off around 15-16 years of age and they really aren't "children" so much as they are becoming young adults. They have wider perspective, better grasp of abstract concepts, a limited understanding of their bodies and sex, etc. Like you, I would consider that age group minors but not really children. Like you, I was once 15-16 so I understand fully where gray areas come into play with regard to consent and sex offenses. When I speak about crimes against children that absolutely disturb me I am usually speaking of innocent children of the single digit ages and slightly beyond. I look at teens very differently. Although any aggressive, violent crime is abhorent in my opinion, I think in teen cases, the lines can become blurred when it comes to differences in age, consensual sex, etc. I have seen lots of young girls who look 20 but they are only 16 and their minds are even less! When I see an offender on a registry who, at the time of his conviction, was 19 years old, I do stop and ask myself if maybe he was a victim of circumstance when his MO is girls "18 and under". It could've been a girl who was 17 and her parents went nuts when they found out she was having sex. I don't often jump the gun and make all kinds of assumptions because I know it can happen and does. I konw it is a responsible person who will really get to know the girl (likely discovering that she is a minor) but there are cases where that is a very difficult thing to do and it should not be totally his fault. I am a female..... I know the game and have played it myself in my youth. I just didn't realize the danger I could have put the other person in. Young and ignorant, I guess but that is no excuse.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
