My point is she should be punished just as he was. They were doing the same thing. OTOH, had the boy's mother tried to get a restraining order she'da been laughed out of court and ridiculed here.

"My point is she should be punished just as he was."

She didn't have a restraining order filed agains't her, he did. He's the one that broke the law and he got what he deserved.

Restraining orders are very serious business and should be treated that way. It took a multitude of events to lead up to the end result. Anywhere along the way the boy could have left it alone. He chose not to and he's paying the price.

Her parents are punishing her. The boy's parent(s) lost control of him and he violated a court order. He is almost 18 and she is 15. The ages, the willingness of a father and mother to protect their daughter, and the rebellion in a young man who will not obey the court (who knows what his mother told him ?) make it different.

why are freepers complaining?.....other than the punishment is way too harsh......

haven't we longed for the days when fathers stood up tall and strong for their dtrs?

havn't we wanted parents to actually DO something rather than just let things unravel?

if this girl got pregnant at age 15 its the same freepers who would be complaining that she had bad parents....

we finally get a parent to act in the best interest of their kid and we still get complaints about that......

Don't you understand the law? He was screwing around with a MINOR. He was violating a court order to stay away from the MINOR. She wasn't violating the law. That's one big difference.
