...and if there's no evidence,he'll be released! AND the girl should be penalized if she's lying!
If my daughter, wife or grandchild decided to engage in sex with someone else; they made their decision and get to live with the consequences.
So you're good with it if your 14 year old daughter sleeps with a grown man! Great parenting!
it could have been you or I
And that matters more to you than if your daughter is taken advantage of by a grown man?I feel sorry for her!
We had adults sentenced to decades in Federal prision, based upon the testamony of children.
...Which was a miscarriage of justice! But to use your earlier argument,what does that case have to do with this one?
I prefer the Constitution.
Me,too! Isn't that the document that guarantees us a fair,speedy trial?
BTW...we're still waiting for your new,improved system....
Simple - no evidence, no crime.
If sex took place, there is evidence; pretty simple, huh?
If the girl gets up, cleans up and then goes back to bed; it would certainly appear it was consentual, wouldn’t it? As is; you are more worried about your precious child, that you would freely imprison anyone whom she would accuse.
What happens when your daugher realizes that she can get revenge for you grounding her, simply by saying “Daddy touched me”? She can now freely extort anything her little 8-18 yr old heart desires, simply by threatening to make the statement. Whether it’s true or not, is really inconsequential, isn’t it? You will get you day in court, just like him. It may mean you don’t have a job anymore, and will lose your house and marriage - but that is the amount of power you have willingly and aggressively ceded to your child. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn’t it?
Or, do different rules apply when you are involved?
