I have big time problems with this. Not with the mother, not with the children, but the powers that be.
Sexual assault? Call me silly, but I kinda associate assault with force, or at the very least adult guile used to unfairly breach an innocent child's defenses.
If these little delinquents wind up on a sexual offenders/predators list for life, a horrible miscarriage of justice has been done. Whatever happned to being charged with plain Jane deliquency?

Wow. I can't believe the mother turned them in! That's basically like saying to the government "I'm a crappy mom. Why don't you take over for me?"
I'm just glad that my mother never turned ME in when she found out that my girlfriend and myself were "assaulting" each other. We never realized that we were both multiple felons!

Linke better get ready for a truck-load full of judicial smackdown. He's a hotdogging idiot.

The girl pleaded guilty to fourth degree sexual assault, a misdemeanor, but is charged with violating her probation; a warrant has been issued for her arrest. A fatherless girl already in trouble??

Not to punish the children, she said, but to help them through various court-ordered services. They were not succeesful in servicing each other.
Now they're fixin' to get serviced by the state.

Such cases are virtually never prosecuted. You would put most teens in this country behind bars. The teens here are being prosecuted cause the daughter was caught in flagrante delicto by her mom in bed with her boyfriend. I agree her daughter was too young to be having sex with a boy her own age but that still doesn't right to the level of a sex crime.

They "were confrontational and remorseless." The teens even "challenged" the woman to call police
This should be about where a 14 year old boy gets run out of the house with a whip/belt, pistol and buck naked screaming for the mean daddy to stop.

Ah, yes: fourteen!
That's how old my daughter was when I used high-strength epoxy to permanently seal her bedroom windows shut. That's how old she was I first parked the axe-handle next to the head of my bed.
Fourteen...
You can't stop the wind from blowing, but you can plant a tall hedge and put up a nice, solid fence to cut down on the amount of trash that blows into your own yard...

Now where's that thread about the lawyers arguing that the ethics rules should be changed so that they can have sex with their clients?
To: mhking
Turn on MTV any time of day and you'll see underage kids simulating and even actually having sex. How on Earth are kids supposed to know what's appropriate and not. They're not taught at home, they're not taught at school and the media glamorizes it. And then, when you do it, you're arrested. We have totally failed as a society.

the couple's would-be sexual encounter in October has both of them facing serious criminal charges. Geez, if these laws were actually enforced and everybody got caught, well over 3/4 of my old high school class would've faced "serious crimminal charges."

14 year old consider themselves olde enough for the priviledges of adulthood, but they don't want the responsibilities that go along with them.
I say it's a package deal. You think you're old enough to have sex, choose an abortion, etc, etc? Then move out and pay your own bills.
