Ann (reportedly) gave birth to Obama JR on Aug. 4, 1961 (reportedly in Hawaii) ANN'S EXACT AGE: 18 years, 8 months, 7 days
What are the laws of HI?
Assuming the laws are the same in 1960-1961 as they are today...
http://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/hawaii-age-of-consent-lawyers.htmlSimilar laws should govern parental decisions as well.In Hawaii, the legal age of consent to have sex is 16 years old. A person who is 14 or older can legally consent to sex with a person who is 19 or younger.
In Hawaii, it is illegal to have sex with a person under the age of 14 under any circumstances. However, it is legal to have sex with a person between the ages of 14 and 16, provided that the older party is no more than 5 years older than the minor.
Ann(a) Obama and her husband should have been able to make decisions for the baby. But from various accounts, Obama Sr didn't want to be involved with baby Obama. And according to Susan Blake who saw Ann with the baby in Seattle 3 weeks after he was born -- Ann didn't even know how to change the diaper very well.
if the birthdate for the child is correct, and obama snr left Hawaii on the 22nd of June, 1962, and courted Ruth (now Ndesandjo) at Harvard, he didn't show much interest in his 'fatherhood' at all. Absent any evidence that 'mother and father' ever lived together...leads me to question paternity altogether.
