Missing girl 15, runs off with Maths teacher.

Really? I can think of much worse people. He's ran off with an underage girl, which is obviously illegal, but imo, assuming it's all consensual and they really 'love' each other I can't see any massive moral problems. The laws are however there for a reason, there needs to be a cut-off somewhere and (assuming he's boning her) he'll go through the justice system, but hopefully be given a light sentence as on the scale of badness in this regard, he's pretty near the bottom.

Of course with all the media coverage and pressure, he'll probably get about 5 years and have to sign onto the register, effectively ruining his life. If he wasn't a massive idiot, he would have quit his job and waited until she was 16.



hey, I was only joking (maths teachers etc). TBH it's none of our business!
 
This thread reads like we have a bunch of closet paedophiles on here.

There's no justification for it!

It's not about morals or anything like that, it's just simply, wrong, if you can't see that, there's something wrong with you.

It's wrong because he's married.

So.... in your book have sex with someone aged 15 years & 364 days old is a paedophile; do it the next day they are not?

She isn't a kid. A young adult yes.
 
Forget about the 15 vs 16 argument, what exactly is so different between a post pubescent 15 year old and 18 year old? I surely dont remember any differences between being 15 and 18, other than maybe just looking slightly older.

How can it be consensual with a minor? They're not old enough to make adult decisions like that, they're very impressionable.

Age is not a clear cut factor on maturity. Most 14+ year old these days are as mature as 18 year olds would have been 50-100 years ago.

Any post pubescent person is capable of consenting to a relationship, whether society likes that or not. The only reason people are so offended by this matter is the age gap, not really considering that the girl herself is choosing to be with the older guy.

Not necessarily a good thing, either.

I was in a library the other day fixing a PC. There was a (11? 12?) young girl dressed in a mini-skirt and stockings. She was browsing the children's section with her Dad (or maybe teacher? :p)

I couldn't help thinking "what are you doing letting your young daughter dress this way?"

how'd you figure that?

a 14+ today most likely hasn't worked or really lived outside of home and school 100 years ago at 8 they would have been working and living in the "real world" for many years by that point.
 
Society is weird.

Having sex with a 15 year old makes you a 'paedo' and scum of the worst kind and yet dressing up as a school girl is a perfectly acceptable fantasy and even encouraged by many a nightclub.

They can't both be right.

They go through puberty earlier due to improved diet is what I meant. And actually also because they arent doing as much physical work as they used to at such young ages means their energy is better reserved for growth and development.

But what about if he just fell in love with a girl as opposed to a girl of a certain age? Who says it has to be a psychological dysfunction.

Also when you consider that the age of consent is different in different countries, it doesn't mean that the supposed psychological dysfunction would be miraculously cured by moving to a different country with a lower age of consent, or vice-versa.

IF the bloke has been knocking her off then that is categorically wrong because it is prohibited by law in this country, but I think there is still room for debate about other aspects of why/if it is "bad". We are brought up in society to believe that adults having sexual relations with minors is wrong but it is something that has happened in many cultures throughout history (not suggesting that everything that has happened in the past is acceptable - just that there needs to be a more open debate about it)

Still happens in a lot of countries. I was reading a news story a couple of months ago I think it was about young girls (I think the example given was around 12 years old) having arranged marriages to older men.
