“Sorry, gang. I’m a stickler for the LAW. The law states the 17 year old is LEGAL to have sex.”

A lot of things which are immoral are legal. Just because its legal does not make it right or moral.

The father seemed like he was very much in control. He tried to let the law take care of it but they refused.

Here's the problem with that. There has to come a point where it's out of daddy's hands. I think everyone can agree on that. Every father might not agree on the legal cutoff, but tough, every society needs a uniform standard.

The irony here, despite Germany's alien (to us) law that puts the age of consent at 14, this girl would have been legal in the majority of American states. When it's her choice, it's her choice. If Dad doesn't like it, he can ask her to leave his house, but he can't go around castrating people.
