The drug dealer in the article is 19. You suggested that I let his parents deal with him.

I'm asking what you would do to a 19-year-old who has sex with your 11-year-old. Have his parents talk to him like you advised me?

That's pretty stupid. An 11 year old cannot legally make sexual decisions for himself/herself. The 19 year old would have committed statuatory rape and would never see daylight again. He would have violated his/her personal rights.

In that case, I'd beat the crap outta the guy.

But let's say your daughter is also around the same age (a legal adult). What could you do then? Nothing, I'd imagine. Similarly, how do we know the kid (or kids) who received the drugs in this story were not also of legal age? If they were, we as parents really can't do shit about.
