Will the new Sexual Offenses Act take the romance out of being a teenager?
The much debated Sexual Offenses Act - which comes into effect on Monday 17 December 2007 - makes it illegal for two 14-year-olds to kiss.
do you really think any one cares if two teenagers kiss the law will not stop this it is just pushing young people further away and what will they get if they get caught a ASBO Joke

This law is pathetic. How can you arrest someone for kissing? They may be under the age of consent but just because they kiss it doesn't mean they are going to have full sex. This is just another example of political correctness gone mad.

it has always technically being an offence.A person under 16 years cannot consent to a sexual act and in law there is what is referred to has sexual kissing as opposed to two friends kissing hello or goodbye for instance..For obvious reasons the law has never been enforced except when someone has forcibly kissed another person.

Well, we learn some thing new every day. I have to say that I hadn't even heard of this law. What a joke that is going to be.
What is this country coming to? Oh boy, as if the police don't already have enough to do with out trying to watch that as well. Are they going to have a special squad of police called the kissing police? lol

This is only the beginning of a society being driven out of common sense and going into self destruction!

I'm glad to see the government is concentrating on the important issues......
So what are we going to tackle today, Transport? Education? Terrorism?
No, no, no....We need to stamp out that most heinous of crimes - Spin the Bottle!

Hmm...could be they're thinking about the other group of teenagers who damn 'romance' and think more about getting theirselves on the housing list before you can say 'preggers'.

Have you got a link for that? I wasn't aware of it, I'd be interested to read the genuine article.
