At Last: Common Sense Breaks Out |
by Anne Morse |
The Portland Press Herald announced today that somebody in Maine finally figured out that having sex with an 11-year-old is, ahem, a crime, even if the child consents to it. Which means that instead of handing out contraceptives to children, Portland's school health centers should be reporting all suspected illegal sexual activity to the State Department of Health and Human Services. Those who think it's great that pre-adolescents are having sex are still resisting the law, however. And they wonder why so many parents homeschool....
You know, that was the very first thought I had when I read that news story. Nobody's even slightly curious who's possibly molesting an 11-year-old? WOW!
I guess there really aren't any real adults left in our society. Scary.
