some age related laws are made to protect the possible law breakers as well as those that might be affected as well. i personally think that men and women who have sex with children (regardless of puberty or what they may look like or portray...are probably dysfunctional or at least have ego issues and don't have the maturity to have a relationship with someone more age appropriate. i don't think you can put a disinct, exclusive age when children know right from wrong in this situation...they are pretty savvy. and let's face it girls (and guys) can lie about their age or may intentionally seduce or allow themselves to be seduced by someone much older...today, girls especially have learned the power they wield with their sexuality. someone and i would like to think it is the adults need to be responsible.....would a 30 something or 40 or even 50 something man or woman has sex with a 13 or 14 year old....like their son or daughter doing it? i am tired of the biological excuse also...we are living in a supposedly advanced, progressive, civilized society...we no longer are dealing with a tribal mentality....
