This 14 year old was taken from school not by a person showing her a puppy. She could have said no. THis "little girl" is at fault for going with this woman.

No you've got to be kidding right?? Tell me just when do children become adults? 8, 9, 10, 13. Please tell me?

[It's me]

I did not say she was an adult.

I did not say she was an adult.

Well pray tell, what age is it that another unrelated adult can take your child without permission? 8, 9, 10?

I mean since it would be my daughter's "fault" if she was pressured into this by adults, I just want to know? Please tell me? I want to know when it would be my daughter's fault. We have already ascertained that 14 year olds have the reasoning and responsibility of adults. When does the change from child to adult occur - 10, 11, 12, or 13. I mean surely it isn't 9 . . . . or is it?
