Along the line of the guy keeping his pants zipped, by the same token, if the female kept her knees together or her panties on, it wouldn’t happen either. Right is right and wrong is wrong. It takes two to tango!” Actually, they were both supposed to be punished under Mosaic Law, but just like you, they often decided the woman was the only guilty party. Judah almost had his daughter-in-law killed for playing the part of the harlot before she proved he was the one who got her pregnant. Oops. In this case, the man would have to pay the father 50 shekels of silver and marry the kid and be forbidden to ever divorce her. (Deuteronomy 22:28-29, with some assumptions) But, anyway, theoretically speaking rather than theologically, if an eight year old offered to service an adult for candy, it’s okay, right? No? Well what about a nine year old? It’s okay then, right? Still no? But we’re almost there because we’re coming up to this kid’s age. At what point would you decide an adult should really decline the offer and at what point would you still say it‘s all hunky dory because she offered? Or could we just follow the secular law?

Over the years, I could not tell you the number of puppies/dawgs who have been left at the community swimming hole. Some have been rescued, while others were left to fin for themselves and become wild and hang out in packs and do a number on livestock and wildlife. And we won't EVEN go into the cats/kittens who have been abandoned over this way and end up in our yard or live in the woods and keep reproducing and end up killing off the quail and other desired wildlife. Sooo, he's no worse than hundreds of others.He just got caught and is being made an example of. I think it would be more humane to have one put down than to just drop it off to starve to death.

They are gonna do what they feel pressured to do, no matter what. And after we have “trained them in the way they should go” all we can do is love ‘em, pray for ‘em and trust God to guide ‘em. He is the best babysitter there is! And if they do dumb things, then we do the best we can to help them get back on the right track. Everyone of us have done things we were not so proud of. We all have, at some time in our lives, lived below our privilege. But, even God forgives us when we repent and He loves us still. Even the good shepherds didn’t use the “rod” to beat the sheep, but rather to pull them back into the flock or gently guide them. He cared enough to go out and search for the one lost sheep until He found it and brought him back to the 99. Someone once said, that Christians were the only army who would desert or hurt their wounded. If God can forgive us, then why can’t we forgive one another?

Let me tell you, sometimes it’s easier to do time than to do probation. Probation is Hell! Not only do they have to come up with their money each month, live under a magnifying glass where they are being watched 24/7 or at least feel that way; they have difficulty when the economy is good to find or even keep a job, because you always have this dark cloud hanging over you, and people don’t want to hire you. Depending on the rules in each case, you may live within s few miles of Atmore, but that is Alabama, so you could not cross the state nor county line without special written permission from your officer in Pensacola, Florida…not to go to church, to get a haircut, go to your bank, or to buy clothes. And as far as his daddy getting him a good lawyer~ I can tell you, those don’t come cheap! Thank God he had parents who cared enough to mortgage their home or whatever they had to do to get the funds to do this…never mind the years it could take to pay it back. If you’ve never been there, you have no idea what you are talking about. And for the one who said counseling was a waste of time and money~depends totally on the individual, but he has no choice but to try to mend his ways or if he were to break his probation, like in the game of monopoly, he’d ‘go straight to jail’. “Judge not that you be not judged”.

Sometimes they have to go the length of their rope and if they get pg, then maybe that’s God’s way of saying, if you play with fire, you are asking to get burned. I have 0- tolerance for girls who want to grow up so fast, and when they get with child, they want to murder it so they don’t have to learn what it’s like to become a real mom…where they can keep on partying! It’s about taking responsibility for our own actions. My grandmother use to say, “every pot has to sit on it’s on bottom”. I'd say, both are to blame, and if one is to be punished, then both should be.

But HE is a GROWN UP and SHE is a Child!!! Any adult that messes with a child in anyway, should be registered as a sex offender, point blank period!!!! No 28 yr old man should be meeting 15 little girls anywhere. He is the adult and he is to blame!!! He needs to grow up and face the real world, where you pay for your actions and are responsible for the decisions you make!! Just a thought?!

I think the parents are embarrased that their daughter is less than honorable and because of this, wanted to lash out at someone else, so that the heat would be taken off of her and onto someone else. Maybe if they had more control over their daughter none of this would have ever happened to begin with. I am in no way saying that this young man is innocent by any means and he is paying for it now, but it is a shame that the girl can just continue on with her life as if nothing ever happened. Where is the justice in that?

Every time a story like this comes out, there are people who say the girl is at fault because a) she was willing b) she didnt' fight c) she was dressed like a floozy Here is a clue for you - IT DOESN"T MATTER. If guys would keep their pants on they wouldn't have to worry about how old the girl is. If you want to act like a hound dog in heat then you face the consequences... and in the state of FLorida having sex with a minor has some serious consequences (although that obviously isn't demonstrated in this case). A 28yr old man is supposed to be smarter and more mature, able to make better decisions than a 15yr old girl - that is why 15yr olds can't vote, drive or drink (legally). Good grief our nation is going to hades in on a highspeed train. Unbelievable.
