Tommy tiger why don't you take your bleeding heart namby pamby liberalism and shove it up your arse, there's a good lad!
****ing hell, what a contribution that was. If that was any less well constructed it'd have a Skoda badge on it.
A child cannot initiate anything when an adults involved, they are children, do you not get that?
It depends on which viewpoint you take. By law, a person is an adult at 18. That means that if a young girl that's 17 years and 364 days old tries it on with an 18 year old bloke, he goes to prison, regardless of who initiated it. By the time I was 15, I had my own opinions of the world, was going out with my friends and doing lots of stuff that people older than me, technically adults, were doing. I once went to White Room when I was 16 and got ratarsed. I was ill for a few days and my Dad wanted to storm in there are demand why they were serving underage people. I told him not to; it was my fault that I was in there (and Spiders) and I had to accept the consequences. I was still legally a child, but it doesn't absolve me of the blame does it? Saying somebody is a child doesn't completely remove them of blame, it simply makes the punishment for the offender more severe.
As Tyger said, in the case with the teacher, he went along with it, knowing the consequences, so he rightly should go to prison. The girl also knew the stakes, but willingly went along with it. She wasn't held against her will, she wasn't a prisoner, she actively wanted to be with him and wants to continue the relationship after he gets out (which I highly doubt will happen). She's as much to blame as he is because she knew she was getting him into trouble but sacked the risk off because she was 'happy'. Silly girl.
