Ok, so my 14 / 15 ish year old neightbor has a boyfriend that is at least as old as I am (26) if not older. That just isn't right. Is there anything that I can say to him / her about it? Should I tell her mother so she can do something, if she doesn't already know?
I mean, what dude is doing is just wrong, not to mention illegal.
Should I step in?

Depending on how close you are with your neighbor's family, perhaps a discreet mention of this to the parents may help. I would reassure them that you don't want to interfere, but out of concern for their daughter you thought it might be best if her parents knew what was going on. I'd have to venture a guess and say that unless her parents are complete losers, they would NOT approve of this type of behavior out of their teenage daughter. And if they don't already know about this situation, I'm sure they would appreciate the heads up. A 26 yr. old man has NO business dating a 14 or 15 year old girl. There is nothing good that come from that situation. In PA at least, I think the legal age of consent is like 15. I don't know what it is elsewhere but I'm sure there are charges that could be brought against this man - either statatory rape, corruption of a minor, and I'm sure the list goes on.
But just to clear your conscience, I'd definitely talk to her parents, rather than have something awful happen that you could have potentially avoided. I'm sure the girl will be angry as we all know how dramatic teenage girls are at times. But, I think she will come to understand the consequences that could have come from continuing a relationship with that guy. You may save her life.

You could always mail an anonymous letter to the mother since you live next door you know the address. Keep in mind, unfortunately she may already be aware of it.

How much do you want to fight with this guy? That's what will happen if you tell the mother. Maybe the girl will be a witch too.. after all its her boyfriend. I'd say butt out and thank God its not your sister.

I think I'd mention it to her mother. Let her know and it'll be on her after that. If mom wants to say/do something then she will. If not, your conscience will be clear!
Good luck.

YES. Let the mother know if she doesn't already. It's wrong and sick. They won't really listen to anyone. Someone needs to get the police involved.

Tell her mom. That is straight sick. If she were 18 and he were 28, it would be different... still kind of sick, but whatever floats her boat, but at that age, she needs to watch it, and her mom probably has no idea.... don't make it sound like you want her daughter, or anything, but sound concerned, like a friend who wouldn't want his buddies little sis getting taken advantage of!

Dude why? Its her own personal business. Its not like you found out the guy is a former pedophile or rapist. Leave her alone unless you want problems with your neighbors. Its her choice who she goes out with.

If you know that they're doing something wrong or to serious I think that you should tell her parents, but maybe you should stay anonomous

well..you would want to because that's illegal, but you don't want the girl thinking YOU like her, but I would step in just for the safety of the girl
