Case law and similar case involving 2 children of similar age having sexual contact?

File a law suit against the Police agency right now for not doing a proper investigation prior to arresting your son. It's common in these cases that the police will just file a case without doing a good investigation.\nAlso file a complaint with your Local Dist. Attorneys Office on the Police Department and their not doing a proper case follow up, Make sure you also contact the State Attorney Generals Office and report the false charges.\nHave your son take a polygraph as well, even if you have to pay for it.\nIf contact was consentual and the girl has had prior sexual knownledge it also has bearing on the case as well.\nTalk to every boy she dated and have your attorney interview them.\n\nIt is better to spend the money now, than have a son as a registered sex offender.

Wait a minute people, did you bother to read the whole thing or just react to the first lines? We are talking about 2 kids and vengeful parents and probably a very vengeful little girl.\nA good attorney should be able to get a reversal based on nothing more than the facts!\nThis guy was 18, GF was 16, had been together 2 years, she gave it up, and probably enjoyed it more than once! Then, as often happens, they both change,as they are still maturing, and go separate ways. Girlie's mad so calls the cops. Did you people remain virgins until you were over the age of consent? I DOUBT IT! Just because it is a GIRL the courts feel justified,l I highly doubt there is any thought in the guys mind of little girls in this case!\n\nREAD THIS:\n\nHe was 18 and she was 16 when he got charged with a sex offence, they had been dating for 2 years at the time. When he decided to end it, her parents turned him in.

http://www.perverted-justice.com/\n\nHere's a website dedicated to catching these sorts of people - especially people who go looking online for young children.\n\nYou could always ask them!

I agree with you.  Stick to you guns.  They shouldn't be sleeping in the same room.  If the dad will put the boy in his room for the night, she could stay in his room.  (I don't know how you will KNOW, but I would at least suggest that as a possibility.)  She is your girl.  Protect her.  I can't imagine the courts going for that sort of a sleeping arrangement with kids of that much of an age difference.  It is definitely a bad situation.  She needs her own space.\n\nYou might need some professional evidence here.  If that is the case, enlist the help of your pediatrician.  Surely he/she will know about the dangers that you are trying to protect her from.  If the child has a therapist, she could do a letter as evidence for the court.  Any professional that you could use as a backup resource would be helpful to you are you argue this out.  Go prepared to make your case.  Your local social services agency may be able to help you and/or offer some guidelines that they follow for these situations.\n\nHere are some links that may help:\nhttp://www.casoxford.on.ca/html/faq.html#8\nhttp://www.familyfun.go.com/parenting/child/dev/expert/dony127fasharebed/\nhttp://apu.3.forumer.com/a/sharing-rooms_post6015.html\n\nThere are so many more.  Try a www.ask.com search about Should opposite sex siblings share a room?  Or Google: opposite sex siblings sharing rooms .  I found lots of opinions about this.

"The judge is not sure if she can overrule jurisdiction because the children do not reside in that county anymore."\n\nPrecludes providing you with any relevant answers in this forum.\n\nGiven the obvious complexity of the case, you would be extremely foolish to follow advice given over the Internet.\n\nSave  your money and hire a lawyer.

Well it sounds like they both need some help its not good to be having sex at such a young age even though kids these days seem to be sexually mature so young. She needs some real help. Does she have any parent that isn't unstable is the person she is staying with stable? She needs some counciling maybe even needs to see a sycatrist and work out some problems. This is highly serious and imediate action needs to take place.

It's 12 in New Mexico or 13 if there is another child. Check with your Family Services Department. They'll be able to tell you the law.

If this is in relation to the UK... I don't know much about this directly, but my ex-wife is a child-care solicitor who works for a Local Authority as Head of Legal and she is always referring to the Children's Act.  Not sure if that will tell you what you need to know, but it will give you an understanding of the legal framework that works around children in the UK and the obligations and behvaiours you can expect from the relevant agencies.  I think that would be my starting point to dig into this.  I've attached a couple of links to the Act and a related site that might help.  Sorry I can't be of more use, but I hope that gets you going.  :)

I don't know, but the Web site below might help. It's a Q&A about court requests to terminate parental rights. It would also seem a child 12 or older can object to the proceedings.

If one person under 18 has sex with someone more than 3 years different in age, the older person is guilty of statutory rape in most states.

Not sure if there is an ACTUAL law but there are laws about children being seriously at risk of harm etc.  You would have to look at the whole picture.  How old are the kids?  How old are the friends?  More importantly are the friends sober and drug free with a decent understanding of morals, non violent, patient etc. etc.

No, that's statutory rape. Legally, a minor is not old enough to consent.
