I seem to remember both Jewish and Roman considered a person responsible for their own acts upon reaching 13.
I'm not sure if the 38 year old seducing a 12 year old is adultery punishable by stoning or rape punishishable by stoning under the old laws.
When I was in school ,one of my 8th grade classmates announced that he was going to be a daddy,and was met with disbelief and disinterest,but not congratulated or celebrated by us.Never did know if he was lying.Now he would be a big man in many schools.

No wonder kids are confused.
And no one has yet answered as to how this woman was allowed to pick up the boy from his home,were either of his parents home or aware?
