Yes, an overwhelming yes. And that is proper and the way it should be. Laws are there so that your interpretation which might be different from mine will be equally applied. A man who steals a loaf of bread to feed his starving family, is he a criminal? Of course he is. By any standards. And it doesn't matter who he stole it from. What happens tomorrow when his family is hungry again? Is it all right for him to steal another loaf? At what point does it become a crime? After two loaves? three? This just shows that we must set limits on our behavior so that' people won't think that they can get away with something because it's, in their perception ,not a "real" crime. The humans that I've come in contact with my whole life just want to push the limits. This is what they live for. To see what they can get away with. There's a saying in the Navy. "Every safety rule is written in blood". Every law was written to deal with a situation where the absence of a law was upsetting the delicate balance that holds society together. Do I have to cite examples of situations that make it all too clear that what we call civilization is just one missed meal from chaos. Everyone thinking that "due to special circumstances it's ok to break the law." It's not that hard to be a law abiding citizen. Why is it we can't leave our doors unlocked at night? Because of people who think the law doesn't apply to them! I'm not saying we should be a police stae, of course not, that's why we have a justice system. If you can convince a judge of your "special circumstances" then you go free. But the law has to be enforced equally and fairly. And let's not forget that every crime has a victim. See if your attitude changes if someone you know gets raped and killed. Just because the criminal would never do that again doesn't make him a bit less a rapist and murderer. And what do you think the victim thinks about that?

Answer 3

Well, it's criminal... meaning a crime.
And it's abuse of a minor (under 12), which is abusing a minor.

What's the question?
