There is absolutely ZERO excuse for a parent who allows their 14-year-old to be have sex.

I agree but it isn't always something "we" allow. It happens and usually without parents ever knowing.

It happens because the kids are given the opportunity and space for it to happen by a lack of parental involvement in their lives and a lack of supervision. And often the kids are lonely and neglected and looking for something to fill a void.

It doesn't "just happen".

Yes, but the original poster took that into account. You'll note his use of the word "usually".
