Reply #62: A lot of the problem that the parents face comes from the allegations

[amandabeech]

that the parent (the mother, usually) or parents order daughters under the age of consent (I believe that's 17 in Texas) to submit to unwanted sex by men well over the age of consent.

If a girl under 17 (and that's what I think they are) actually wants to have sex with a 40-year-old guy and does, the guy has committed statutory rape because the law deems anyone under 17 as unable to consent to sex.

Forcing a 13, 14, 15, or 16 year old to have sex is generally considered abusive, dangerous behavior on the part of a parent, and failing to protect that daughter from others who are going to engage in that abuse will be treated the same.

Some states have a "young lovers" or "Romeo and Juliet" exemption by law or judicial opinion that waives the statute in cases in which the sex is consensual and one party is under the age of consent and the other over, but within 1 to 4 years older than the younger partner,depending on the state.
An example would be a sophomore dating a senior, when the senior is over the age of consent, say 17, and the sophomore is 15 with less than 3 years between them in a state with a 3-year "R&J" statute.

Any one of the men forcing himself on someone 17 or older would have be arrested on regular rape charges.

Also of interest would be dumping adolescent boys on the street. Parents or other guardians are now allowed to do that, either.

Proving all of this up will not be easy, however.
