You know, back in the Dawkins thread I challenged the claim that religion was a source of evil. I take that back. This is disgusting.
Why are so many of the responses here regarding the 15 -16 year old boys actions? It doesnt matter if a kid of 15 is capable of having sex, the issue is what a 30+ year old woman was doing having sex with minors.
Nope, the issue here is how external people to the situation are getting into stuff that is non-of their damn business.
agreed
its seems as though its already being taken care of, however if you are a parent and hear this is happening dont you have some sort of duty to inform the other childs parents at least?
I´m not a parent, but if a 15 year old kid wants to have sex with mature women, he is going to do so regardless of what their parents know. The only responsability the parents have towards their kids is to inform them of the repercutions this could have in their lifes, not to mention the bad energies they are going to absorb when they get into sexual contact with a person whom they are not in love with.
I mean, the parents job is not to gossip about this, or sue the woman; the parents job is to instruct their kids in the subject, instead of being concerned on what external people may do to seduce the kids, they should be more concerned on talking to their own kids about it.
But, sometimes people rather go to the police instead of dealing with confronting their kids about this matter; this is kinda stupid in my book, but is not their faults. The fault is in tradition, that their parents didn´t confront them about this, and if we go back in time, repressions go deeper and deeper.

She has caused consternation and trauma to people she has no responsability towards; not to mention that the people who are concerned or traumatized by this are the people who need even more help than that woman...None the less, this woman has caused consternation and trauma with her actions, within the society of which, she is happy to reap the benefits.
There are going to be repercussions, she has to deal with what she did with an ape in her back as her conscience. Putting her in jail only makes things worst, do you think she would be put in there for life? Or just enought time to make her life a bit more of a living hell, making her potentially more dangerous not only in the "arts of seduction", but as a criminal instructed by the best criminals.Her judgement is very poor if she thought for a second there could be no reprocussions from her greedy(?), aborrant(?) and egotistical(?) sex act with a young fool. Bottom line, she broke the law and the law will punish, poorly or fairly, is perhaps all you could argue.
in many/most states that would be considered illegal therefor as an outside observer dont you have a obligation to at least tell the childs parents whats up and then let them make the ultimate decision
So by this logic, orleander should have ignored the situation until her own son became a notch on this womans belt (so to speak)?
But how can you think that the law will punish her "fairly"? I seriously think that the law is flawed on this one. Not to mention that I don´t think prison is a solution for anything.
Concerned parents often do things they shouldn´t do out of love for their kids; and just because is an act out of love, it does not mean that is the best thing for the kids.Its not gossip if you approach them as a concerned parent
There are many variants in this situation.Hat if the child had bragged about planning to shoot up a school, should you not inform the parents because you dont want to gossip?
If that is the case of the law, I have not a bit of a problem with it; it seems like the best thing to do.I really don't know what they do in the states, usually it seems harsh to us canadians(though I do wish we would punish murderers like the U.S does). In Canada, I can assure you it would be nothing more than well paid counselling.
What do you mean with this? I bet the drug laws are an exception!! As far as I know, there are currently more drug addicts than any time in history and the stupid laws are still there (except for places like Amsterdan, and I know that Canada has many good reforms to that), but I mean overall, specially in the US.As for the Law, I have learned the only way to overturn a Law that was "wrong" is for many people to break it, many times.

Gossip never solves a thing.
If everyone just kept their mouths shut all the time I doubt that would help either
