I didn't listen to the debates (I had other obligations, one being that I was born 20 miles from Fenway Park). I'm not familar with any comments regarding fathers raping their 14 year olds.
However, I am quite aware that the problem of 25 or so year old men victimizing 13- and 14- and 15-years olds is serious enough in the city of Chicago that legislation was passed in the State of Illinois this year making the penalties for statutory rape much more serious if there is a significant difference in age between the victim and the perpetrator. Drugged out guys who can't get a woman their own age are apparently picking out very young girls to satisfy their urges. And some of these girls are getting pregnant. Decry the MSM if you want, but I think they had this story right.
Absolutely legitimate concerns you've expressed, but I'm of the opinion that Parental Consent can be worked to accommodate situations like this without overbearing regulatory involvement. A word of caution on how much stock we all put in some MSM stories driven from a sense of social outrage ;-) That's not to say I discount your comments, just MSM has taken some deserved lumps of late.
