Reply #12: In this case, the letter of the law completely undermines the spirit of the law. [View All]

[Lyric]

If a 15-year-old kid steals a beer from Mom and Dad's fridge and drinks it, should he be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor? If two eleven-year-olds are playing "doctor" and the grownups catch them, should they each be charged with statutory rape, or child molestation?

Seriously--when the "spirit" of the law that was MEANT to protect children from adult predators is THIS easy to subvert, then the law is too broad and needs to be re-written.
