I admit that I do not know much about the legal system. However, I think that this case is really screwed up for a few reasons.
1. Why would they have a law that would allow teenagers to get married if they are going to turn around and charge them for a sex crime?
2. If the parents consented to her getting married, they most likely did not have a problem with her having sex. If they gave consent for sex, would it be a crime?
3. They seem to be playing the special ed card a lot. Is their slant for sympathy or to get people enraged?
I don't think that enough was said about the parents. Obviously children are going to make their own decisions. However, the parents had to know that she was seeing an older man. If not, then they should be tried for neglect. I mean if cases are going to be brought up, the parents should be looked at also. The thing that really makes me mad is that taxpayers are going to have to pay for this child because she is too young to get a job and most likely won't finish school. If he is special ed, he is probably working minimum wage depending on the extent of his learning disablilty. Of course, the court case is also coming from tax money. I know that the law needs to be followed, but in this case it seems like a waste of money. If the parents were outraged I would be more likely to support it. However, it doesn't seem like anyone, but the residents are outraged.
