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 abuseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09048094464966563344noreply@blogger.com
