Well, I morally believe that Children should not be with Adults..
But I firmly morally believe it is not the governments job to raise our children,nor it is the governments job to define morality.
It is the task of the parents to raise theyre own Children, and to teach them morality...
Furthermore, This issue is one in which subjectivity should be applied.
For culturally, our values and "laws" differ then others found throughout the world, and eve those in our own History.
Again its unfortunate for those caught in this situation that they are conforming to group-think culture tendency whom have defined morality with law and age with sociopolitical class.
but whats the alternative...Look at other cultures around the world....
Though again, I disagree with minor and adult relationships because of mental, and biological clashes( partly created by mob rule democracy).
Further it is in the best interest of a child to not worry about serious relationships, but their own success and education. Also, adults can easily manipulate children.....
Unfortunately we live in a society where the relationship with money is more important then our relationship with people.
