I agree with you. The system needs to differentiate. I have a neighbor who is a registered sex offender. His g/f was 17 and he was 18.
Same here. The pendulum always swings too far in one direction of another. We tend to overeact when something horrible happens. A pedophile belongs on the list. But someone who has sex with their g/friend does not. Period. OUr list in Michigan doesn't tell me enough to protect my g/children. I don't care if my neighbor had sex with his underage g/friend,(usually with the permission of her parents BTW). I do however care if he is classified as a pedophile.
