Depends on the state, but I'm pretty sure for most, it's 16. Not entirely sure about Georgia, though.

It's all relative. Anyone that pursues violence as a method of resolving an issue has severe anger issues from where I stand.

While I think the two should not have been showering together in his house, something he obviously would not have approved of, the stepfather still overreacted in assaulting the kid. Throwing charges of child cruelty is a bit silly though.

I'm not saying he was a child, but from a legal standpoint, he was.

And that's why I'm saying the law needs to not do that, and instead have more elaborate definitions that are more in-line with reality.

Because clearly everyone who isn't an enlightened pacifist, and can be swept-up in a passion before he can think things through has severe anger issues. :roll:

Repeatedly.

Yes, this is all fun but we really do need to leave the parental fantasies behind, I think.


I'm not fantasizing per se. I have three boys, no girls and the bullets are out of the gun. But from the time when I was a kid until the present, I always took it as a given that if you got caught naked with a man's daughter, you got your ass kicked. I think it's in the Bible somewhere.

And you know what? If one of my boys comes home at sixteen with an ice pack on his balls and tells me a similar story, I'd like to think I'd remind him that in another time, he would've got an ass full of buckshot.

Being swept-up in a passion and resorting to violence is indicative of anger issues, yes. That's their definition.

I really get the feeling that you're being quite condescending toward anyone who would empathize or sympathize with the father.

No no, it's more about protection. It's a biological impulse to want to protect your children, even if you think that means kicking the ass of the little punk who's screwing your daughter behind your back. I think he was mostly angry that this was done without his knowledge, and they were sneaking around about it.
