My 18-Year-Old Daughter Is Dating A Minor

We have thought of sitting down with them, but seriously what kind of plan can we formulate other than ending the relationship? No matter what, until he turns 18, my daughter's future is at stake. They can tell me they won't persue any legal actions today, but there's no guarantees for tomorrow. True?


Now she can still persue a relationship on her own away from my home, but she will be the one taking that risk.

The Police do not need the parents to file charges.

Very true.

Did i read that the other family is Christian?

Well can you call them hypocrites if they don't forgive,because one the the most important teachings of Christianity is to "Turn the other cheek" and "To forgive and forget" Because if they don't follow that part of the bible then i would call them hypocrites and accuse them of "cherry-picking" the bible if i was put in that situation.

Lecturing people on religion and calling them hypocrites... That's a great way to make friends and influence people... :rolleyes:

This is not a religious issue so let's not stray from the real issue. Thanks.

Well we just sat down with her and discussed everything that I've learned here. She is really crushed and not sure what she is thinking, because she does not want to talk about it. She does want to see a Criminal Lawyer and hear it from him/her. So off I got to find someone in our area.

Even though it kills me to see her hurting, I know this is best. One day when she has her own child, she'll realize where we are coming from.

Thanks for the advice given here. Truly appreciate it.

Some news for you all!

We went to a highly recommended Criminal Attorney. He can be with her when he turns 16. Th AOC here in Florida is 16 if she is under 24. So I suggest some of you do some reading, because it used to be 18. That's why it was very confusing to me. Now the attorney did say that when she turns 18, she can not be with him until he turns 16, if she gets caught then she is facing a felony charge. So we made it very clear that she is not to have contact with him until then and if their love for each other is strong enough, then their relationship can go forward once he 16.
