can any legal action be taken against a parent if they let their 15 yr old daughter have sex with a 16 yr old?

Answer 1

It is hard to imagine a situation where a parent actually tells their child to have sex; at best, they might tell the child they may have sex if they wish to. If the parent directly encourages the children to have sex then you might have a case.

If the parents just leave the children unmonitored and the children decide to have sex on their own; you can not fault the parents for what entertainments the children come up with. As long as the teens are both willing participants, consent is implied- it is up to the morals of the teens to do what they feel is right. This only occurs when both parties are legally able to have sex as stated in the state laws concerning age of consent.

Lets use this analogy: Two teens are at one parent's home with a locked liquor cabinet. If the parent unlocks the case and pours drinks for the kids, then the parent is responsible. If the parent leaves the cabinet locked and the teens unsupervised, the parent is not responsible when the teens break into the cabinet to get themselves drinks. If the parent leaves the case unlocked and has given their child permission to drink alcohol, it is the responsiblity of the other teen to not drink if they are uncomfortable with the situation. If the parent leave the alcohol accessable but has not given permission for it to be consumed, then the parent deserves an empty bottle for their stupidity of what will happen given the situation; but no legal responsiblity for that-every parent thinks they have done a good job raising their child.

Speaking of raising children; if the girl becomes pregnant, that opens a whole can of worms. Get expert legal advise imediately from a lawyer in your state.

Answer 2

are you able to assert statutory rape? The age of consent in Texas is 17 {Texas Penal Code section 21.11}. whether , "...that's an affirmative protection to prosecution decrease than this section that the actor...advance into no better than 3 years older than the sufferer and of the different intercourse...(and) did no longer use duress, stress, or a danger against the sufferer on the time of the offence" and isn't any longer a registered intercourse criminal {section 21.11(b)}. section 21.12 extra prohibits all sexual touch between an worker of a school (consisting of educators)and a student enrolled on the popular or secondary college the place suggested worker works. No age is special via the statute (consequently, whether the student has reached consent age of 17, it remains a contravention), and violations are a 2nd degree criminal. ''no longer all boys are heartless, intercourse-finding jerks ou comprehend. particularly some them could desire to comparable perspectives i do approximately intimacy.'' yeah and age 15 you realize each little thing approximately adult adult males. All i comprehend is, that once i advance into 18, i advance into no longer finding for a highschool woman to date, i advance into finding forward to college and all started relationship the lady who's now my fiancee. So as quickly as I hear approximately an 18 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old youngster intrested in a 15 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old, all I see is him wanting intercourse.

Answer 3

In most states, sex with a child under 16 is statutory rape. So the 16 year old boy is guilty of that. Since the parents let him, they are guilty to aiding and abetting the act.

The 16 year old should be charged with statutory rape.

The 15 year old girl should be removed from the home.

The parents should be charged with aiding and abetting.

Answer 4

I hope you are either the 15 year old girl just looking for what will come back in the form of information or the 16 year boy for the same reason. I really hope that your not the parent of either in any case.

Answer 5

ummmm lets see... I seem to remember MITT ROMNEY said he was over 18 when he was dating a 15yo ! And he seems to think it's ok ! I know some people say things were different back then, but you can be sure the emotional dis-functionality was the same.

Answer 6

yes, Risk of injury to a Minor, contributing to the delinquency of a minor just to name a few.
by the way: Where is a parent's head when they allow a Minor to have sex at 15?

Answer 7

Legal action? No. You have to be harmed in order to take legal action. YOU weren't harmed by this incident, so you can't take legal action. You can, however, report to child protective services and see if they want to intervene.

Answer 8

I have the impression that this questioner had skipped his 13 to 17 th birthdays. " Allow"????? Is that in the dictionary?

Answer 9

Most jurisdictions would call that contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Answer 10

Legaly no. Neither party is at the age of consent. I guess you could just report them to the child protective services but, if she said yes and he said yes, your fighting the wind.
