question about law?

Question

is it legal to answer questions of minors mainly females, when it comes to questions about their sexuality, physical appearence such as puberty questions, boyfriend troubles, health, periods, etc.

is it legal to answer them strictly as an information or tutolege or advice on the forums here.

i find myself sometimes wondering if people are stepping over the legal boundaries on this site. whats your take on it.

*** well..also, the question applys for same sex answering the questions too. if a female is talking about going through puberty and female body parts, is it not the same if a man tried to describe it?

Answer 1

I can't see why answering their questions would be illegal, providing your are not trying to contact them personally or to promote sexual relations with minors. I do not allow e-mail or text message contact (for a variety of reasons), so they can't reach me.

In most cases, I feel they should contact a teacher, doctor or other professional to answer their questions. If their question is not urgent, a good reference book would be suitable,

Answer 2

If the question is asked, there is a reason for it. To not answer it fully and completely would be wrong. You can always advise them not to try it, or do it. But if you're not fully honest and complete in your answer you can be doing a greater disservice to them. If their asking the question they are going to fine the answer one way are another. Better that someone tell them the truth than they make the mistake.

Answer 3

It is legal, but I wouldn't give advice nor take it from someone you did not know other than their blogged identity. IMO, such matters as these dont need to be here

I would even be afraid to ask the question you just asked

Answer 4

Yes it is legal. Moral? That I don't know...but then again unmonitored minors should not be on this site anyway...

Answer 5

You still have freedom of speech. For now.
