He’s on very thin ice.
Consensual or not, a 16-year with a 13-year old is a mandated report under CANRA.

Doesn’t make sense.

An eighteen year old can be with a fourteen year old but a sixteen year old can’t be with a thirteen year old?

I cont believe that can hold up in court but from the chart see it can.

The chart says a 20 year old can be with a 14 year old without reporting it as child abuse. I’ll draw my own conclusions on the chart validity, thanks for sharing it

My conclusion is that it is a worthless piece of crap. According to this thing someone 14 years and 1 day old can have sex with someone 13 years and 360 days old and that is supposed to be some kind of abuse. Give me a break. Kids will be kids and all this age of consent stuff is such arbitrary crap. Age does not equal maturity and if there is some definite moral line how come it changes so much once you cross imaginary lines on a map.

That’s a pretty hefty accusation to throw around for no good reason. Care to dispute something I said? Or would you just rather hurl around a term that I would bet you don’t even truly understand the definition of?

The chart is a valid depiction of California’s “Child Abuse Neglect Reporting Act criteria”. Doubters ought to check that CANRA link I provided — that’s why I provided it.

To whom is your remark directed?

I hope it is directed towards you for sexual abuse allegations when there is zero evidence in this article indicating that these two had any type of sexual relationship.

Maybe the 13 year old should get into trouble also maybe these Girls should face consequences just like the boys , just saying

Just because they are missing together doesn’t necessarily mean they ran away together, or does it? The story isn’t clear, or maybe unknown.

First of all, I was checking back to see if their story had an update & was glad to read they are home safe & sound.

That said, unless I am mistaken Kym’s in charge here — not you. I’ve been reading Blackbelt from day one and once in a blue moon, have posted a comment when I think there’s something I can add to the conversation. In this instance, I thought to add a cautionary bit of info, mostly for the families but especially as a heads-up to a couple of teens who might not have been aware of a potential consequence of their walkabout.

I was not suggesting that they should get into trouble, only that they might.

I had no idea that would be offensive or that I’d get trolled here. Shame, that.

Let’s give these two some compassion. No evidence of sexual activity is presented here, and no one knows where these two kids are, or what caused them to be missing.

Let’s not speculate, or assume. Let’s hope they are safe. When they are found, let’s nurture them instead of blaming. Hopefully, if they decided to have sex, they planned ahead to be responsible.
