Wrong answer. According to Boebert herself, the girl is some number "above 14", which means at least 15 and up to 17. We don't know what the girl's actual age is. I think sikacz had it right, below.YankeeTarheel wrote: Thu Apr 27, 2023 12:54 pmHe's 17 and she's....A lot less. That means 13, 14, maybe 15. A 17 year old shouldn't be messing with someone that young. Not in our day, and not now.CowboyT wrote: Thu Apr 27, 2023 10:50 amWhoa there, cowboy...these two kids are boyfriend and girlfriend.

Children shouldn't be parents.
This makes a lot more sense, and in this case, the age of the girl is actually 15 to 17, since "above 14" means at least 15. That's a 2-year maximum age difference. Therefore, I don't see a problem with the two of them exploring their feelings, other than that they should've used protection, like the Europeans do in these sorts of situations.sikacz wrote: Thu Apr 27, 2023 12:51 pm Seems that both are minors and the state law has a four year age difference for consensual sex. Ages 14 to 17 can engage in consensual sex with each other. It wasn’t clear to me if both could be charged with statutory rape, seems possible from a brief read. I doubt this story is actually very news worthy except for the poor judgment. Some states have Romeo and Juliet laws to prevent minors from being prosecuted. I doubt throwing children in jail for exploring their feelings is productive.
I'm noticing that some people are awfully quick to slap labels on folks, even kids, if they don't like the politics of the parents. That's not proper, folks, and we need to watch that. Just because you may not like the parent doesn't mean it's OK to attack the underage kid with such charged, accusatory terms as "child molester". That's a grievous crime for which there is no evidence presented that the son here is guilty of committing. Be careful, folks.
