Default Re: To Catch a Predator: Creating Crime

I don't know your age or your parental status. If you are young and without kids, I can understand why you might believe that 16 is OK. But, 16. yr. olds lack the abilty to make sound decisions.

Developmentally, they are not capable of entering into an adult relationship as an equal.

The problem with this is that by and large the same is true of 26 year olds. The age limits we use are pretty much arbitrary.

Also... 16 is legal in more than half the country.
