Yes, I let her have sex at 14 - but I never thought she'd run off with a 46-year-old grandfather
The Daily Mail ^ | 5/17/2008 | KATHRYN KNIGHT

Posted on 05/17/2008 10:16:50 AM PDT by conservativegamer

"Last month, Angela's youngest daughter, 16-year-old Lisa, ran away from home to be with Glyn's father, Nigel, who, at 46, is precisely 30 years her senior. Lisa was due to sit her GCSEs this week and was expected to achieve a succession of As and A*s.

Nigel Trowbridge is an unemployed father of five - including a daughter who is a year younger than Lisa - and would not strike you as a particularly ideal catch for anyone, let alone a girl who is meant to be taking her GCSEs.

To say Angela is horrified is an understatement. This, after all, is a man she had welcomed into her home as an extended member of the family.

. . .

And while police are concerned, at 16 Lisa is not under-age. Unless she can be shown to be in danger, there is little they can do to intervene.

It is an agonising situation for her mother - and a sorry reflection of a society in which young girls are sexualised at an increasingly young age.

Angela admits that Lisa was sexually active at 14 with her then boyfriend, so perhaps in this misguided girl's mind it is not such a big step to run away at 16 with a man not far off his 50th birthday.

. . .

Had Angela not tried to dissuade Lisa from such early sexual activity?

"I'd always spoken to all my daughters about sex education - my belief was that if they were going to get involved, I'd rather they were informed," she says awkwardly.

"Of course, I would have preferred her not to, but I was happier she felt she could be honest with me rather than going behind my back.""

Doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy to know that a progressive mother like Angela Wright and a progressive society like the one in the United Kingdom is where America is headed?

It's not like GIRLS at FOURTEEN YEARS OF AGE can't make mature, rational decisions about being sexually active, right? It's not like GIRLS at SIXTEEN YEARS OF AGE can be seduced by cunning, manipulative, and deviant old men.

I'm sure Lisa needs no guidance; I'm sure this relationship will prove so much more fruitful than entering a higher education institution with an all-A academic record.

If the girl is of the age of consent, how would you word your predator law. “No grumpy old men?”

This is where we are headed. We should remember this when we vote. There is one party that believes this is entirely natural. Also some Homosexuals have been pushing for consent being reduced to as early as 12. We all know why that is of course. Get em while they are young and supple in mind and body.

Pedophile party wants age of consent cut

On second thought, it could be worse, the FLDS mothers help tie them to the bed at that age.

Why be surprised by anything from a failed country that has banned the private ownership of firearms and imprisons anyone who fights back against an attacker? The Nazis did conquer Britian. It just took an additional 50 years.

This is just one of those things that happen when the law and society believe that children should be treated as adults. They are children for gosh sakes.

Any person who doesn’t see something wrong (not just immoral, but wrong as in absolutely wrong) in possessing child pornography does not have the mental capacity necessary to function in society.

Exactly! I was trying to emphasize the word girls because, well, that’s what they are! They aren’t adults capable of making logical, mature decisions at 14 or even 16. Hell, some aren’t even at 18, but if parents aren’t allowed, or, in this instance, refuse, to parent, then these can be the consequences.

I couldn’t agree more but we have a whole political party that supports and elevates disease ridden perverts and support norming policies that place children at risk in school district after school district nationwide. We also have another political party that just smiles and talks about how tolerant they are and just want to get along.

Read the whole article, it is really depressing also because it highlights something else.

The future is a dysgenic one.

“The existence of a dysgenic trend in humans is often proposed by supporters of eugenics; however, the existence of a dysgenic effect has never been proven in humans, and is generally considered a fringe or even a junk science concept.”

There is of course, the example of Warren Jeffs and his FLDS sect. The little-publicised fact of several otherwise-rare genetic diseases cropping up in his inbred followers (mostly descended exclusively from the two clans that founded the sect in the early twentieth-century). Breakaway members have said Jeffs has been aiming to breed obedience in his flock.

I'll get flamed for this. Back in days of old when children had mothers AND FATHERS pervs like Nigel would leave town nursing bruises...or vanish (do a search on "Shoot+Shovel+Shutup").

I'm not saying those times were perfect but they were better than what we have now.

Isn't it great that the education seemed to skip "abstinence?" We don't want her to miss out on "exploring her sexuality," do we?

Sounds like horse-shit from wikipedia - there is a universal distaste at that site for anything with a whiff of meritocracy.

Dysgenics is a concept heavily studied in biology and anthropology. The field is currently applied to breeding programs for animals in captivity (where selective processes have been eliminated, much as they have almost been eliminated in the welfare-nanny state).

Eugenics is a system where one hopes to engineer a better population by not allowing certain people to have children (by forced sterilization, etc). The goal here is population superiority.

Dysgenics is a system where one hopes to engineer a better population by making sure that everyone can have children (by subsidy, entitlement, etc). The goal here is population equality.

Those are two points on the triangle. The third point is laissez-faires: neither government program is endorsed. Sink or swim - you and your progeny will flourish or perish based on the abundance or absence of individual merit, which includes the provision of assistance voluntarily by individual agents, as THEY judge the merit of your need. The goal here is liberty.

This is totally depressing. Of course, while Mom is due for her share of criticism, she’s the product of a dysfunctional society that doesn’t value marriage, doesn’t value proper authority, and basically, doesn’t value values. If it feels good, do it.

True, and when this girl gives birth to a child fathered by this loser, the tax payers of Britain will be paying for it for years.

“DUTCH pedophiles were launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations from 16 to 12 and the legalisation of child pornography and sex with animals.” -http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,19310781-2,00.html

Now people, listen to the silence of gays and lezbos when confronted with this news story from the UK. What? They’re not available for comment? Shocking...

Warning sign # 1: hid from male visitors ‘and growled at them’.

Warning sign # 2: she was a loner, even preferring ‘doing her own thing in her room’ (No, not even as a dirty old man will I go there!) to even interacting with her sisters.

Warning sign # 3: lying about the boffing boy friend’s age, making the 18 YO into a 16 YO.

Can’t help wondering who abused this girl at an early age...and why Mommy, a dental nurse, refused to see any signs, and get her mental help.

Oh yeah, I would be so happy that pre-teens are fully knowledgeable about intercourse, masturbation, homosexuality and alternative lifestyles. Yeah, rejoice... </sarcasm>

The girl is hot! I saw her picture. She’s a very attractive young woman. Her mother is the quintessential British mom nowadays. Sitting there all overweight and slovenly with her “wife beater” t-shirt on. Go figure.

At least the teen girls still have some femininity in the UK.

UK has gun control, knife control, soon Islamic Sharia Law but, one good thing, 46 year old men can enjoy the sweetness of a 16 year old girl!

Yours truly,

Yeah but it has been and is (thank goodness kids can speak up now more so then in the past) rampent in all the world for mostly men to cross the line of decency and destroy that part of a childs innocense.

It either kills part of that lil persons soul for life and they have a hard time functioning healthly for life or it makes one determined to survive and very aware throughout life that no one can be trusted.

Just like murder ect...it is part of human nature to sin gravely.

It is those who heed to the holiness and love of God or his wrath that find grave sins abhorant and travel through the narrow gate.

Wow, they really don’t have statutory rape laws in England? That’s amazing. And very disturbing.

The girl’s parents shouldn’t have let her have sex with her teenage boyfriend either, but even if the girl was a virgin, this old man could still legally come along and seduce her. It’s disgusting.
