Disagree with your last statement but we can park that and I’ll answer your question.So you consider a person that can legally have sex to be a child?
So you are questioning our legislation?
As TT also mentioned, there was no "grooming" at the school on"work time" as clearly indicated by messages that have been publicly displayed.
Yes, I am questioning the legislation and here’s why:
For decades the age of consent in NSW at least has been between 16-18 at various times and even differing between males and females.
In a broader sense the law considers you a minor ‘a child’ or at least ‘not an adult’ until you’re 18. So you might be able to legally have sex, but you’re still not an adult.
The newer laws around sexting make it clear that under 18 this stuff is illegal.
Therefore there needs to be better alignment between the age of being an adult, the age of personal/private sexual consent and the age of digital carriage of sexual material which may involve any individual.
