7. Your child turning 18 is a major milestone, it means he's no longer a minor..

How could Trump have overlooked this milestone? It is mind-boggling.

When my son turned 18 I had a talk with him about how he is now different in the eyes of the law, and faces much bigger consequences for his actions, because he is now an adult. But Trump doesn't think laws apply to him or his family.

Yup, and you have to tell them about statutory rape laws. SunSeeker May 2024 #9

Generally not. Ms. Toad May 2024 #18

Absolutely you do have to tell them. Every state has these laws. SunSeeker May 2024 #19

I am an attorney, and you are wrong. Ms. Toad May 2024 #23

I am stating the rule FOR 18 YEAR OLDS. SunSeeker May 2024 #24

Again - the rule you are stating is not generally correct. Ms. Toad May 2024 #32

Again, the general rule to stay safe from statutory rape laws is to not have sex with anyone under 18. SunSeeker May 2024 #35

It's not that I disagree with that advice - Ms. Toad May 2024 #37
