Wow.

That should have been the reaction they all stuck with. I'm sorry she was trapped. But, she was 29 and really was old enough to be the teen mother of some fifteen and sixteen year olds. At 29, choosing a sixteen year old is predatory – it's pedophilia – no matter whether the sixteen year old is willing nor whether it's a man or woman predator.

I was targeted by men of that age when I was that young. Also, one of my cousins got pregnant at 15 by her 29-year old scout leader. We were too young for any real consensual decision making. So were those boys. So were you when she asked you to do that – that is abuse too.
