I do not get how setting the age of consent to 13 or 15 is help for children? Seems like it’s more help to adults who wish to have sex with them.

Consent is consent. If a 15 year old can consent, then they should be able to consent with anyone. How is that a fix?

I know they try to say that these kids can’t have sex with older people. They why call it an age of consent?

This is just plain dumb.

As for the guys who wanted to have sex with an eleven year old, take them out in a back ally and do society a favor.

Did you read the article? Right now, someone can have sex with a child of any age, and the prosecutors have to "prove" that they didn't consent. Now, if they are under 15, they don't have to prove that.

I know they try to say that these kids can’t have sex with older people. They why call it an age of consent?

I am not sure what you are trying to say. In the United States there are age of consent laws, but it varies by state, I think from 16 to 18. Do you think there should be no age of consent?
