What age is considered Sexual Child Abuse???.

What age is considered Sexual Child Abuse???.

Well I can't even image my 12 yr old child pregnant. This seems to be an epidemic here in Arkansas. 
Please explain to me how this cannot be considered sexual  child abuse on a parents part. 

The mother let the 17 yr old boyfriend move in when he was 16 and he began sleeping with her daughter at age 11. 
I remember at that age I was playing jacks and jump rope.

Should the mother and boy be charged. Well a judge decided the boy is considered  a minor and the mom allowed them to have sex so he could not find charges for child sexual abuse.To me this is just wrong in every-way. Now the boy has moved out to shun his responsibilities and is now with a 14 yr old. 

What in the hell I think the boy should be held responsible for his actions and the mother should have been charged with child endangerment.

What do you think??.

  1. To me, this is Child Endangerment on the parents part for allowing a then-16 year old boy to move in and start having sex with their 11 year old daughter. This is atrocious! They put their daughter in a dangerous situation that has now changed her life forever, and that of her unborn child - who unfortunately will probably grow up to repeat the behavior since we reap what we sow and do what we know - especially as children. In Tennessee, the law states an adult or minor can be charged with sexual abuse if is an age difference of 4 years or more. So, here he could have gotten charged & at age 17 probably would have been charged as an adult and served jail time of 5-15 years. Every state has different laws on this, of course. It is time for the laws in Arkansas to be changed in regards to this - both for the older male (in this case) and for the parents of the underage girl. IMHO, I think both the young 'man' and the parents should be charged with at least Child Endangerment, if not with sexual abuse
