If you agree that the younger girl’s parents should have control over their daughter’s sexual activities, why do you object to them having the legal authority? And if you insist that the girl and the woman are close enough in age to be considered equal partners, why should only one of them be subject to parental control? Is it that you recognize that one is an adult and the other one is a minor?
No, it is because one set of parents, in attempting to exert authority over their own daughter, chose to act to ruin the life of another girl (whose own parents are apparently too liberal to have probably ever attempted to exert authority over her).
What these parents did is not Christian. Their hatred and lack of control over their own daughter has allowed them to act without grace. Jesus, Pope Francis, my own priest, the local Baptist minister...I just don’t see any of them saying “Oh, just wait until she turns eighteen. Then you can get her!” For shame.
