To be quite honest, I have to think the judge's "knotty" problem is precisely as I suggested it was. Either that or he's a God-damned fool.
This is reporting to authorities, not to parents. I do agree with the judge that sometimes sexual adventurism should not automatically be considered criminal. The judge is, I believe rightly, insisting that a certain level of adult understanding be implemented.
Do you not see the parallel with school "authorities" over-reacting about pictures of guns, and about children in first grade giving out kisses?
