Agreed. It was awkward enough as a young boy just trying to think about how to make an advance towards a girl you were attracted to, and simply dealing with the rejection or embarrassment at a fumbled approach.
Now, you can be accused of sexual harassment if you didn’t proffer some kind of agreement in advance that could be signed, and even then...is the contract binding, blah blah blah.
Back in the day, two kids caught in a sexual tryst would result in the boy and girl being brought home individually by the parents and given a good talking to, or even taken to the figurative woodshed.
Now, you end up in front of someone who wears a uniform and badge, confronting you with something that has all the trappings of a formal legal process. It seems crazy and Orwellian to me.
Thank you. Seems like even most FReepers think kids belong to the school and the police. The parents are an afterthought.
