    Default Can Sexual Abuse of a Minor Cause Removal from the Home

    Just found out that my 29 year old sister had sex with my 13 year cousin. I have already gotten the authorities involved. My worries are him and his brother are in the system can they be taken away and put in Foster? Also what if it was some what consensual. I know my sister is in the wrong and she took advantage of him. I just need to hear some confident replys to reassure me that I am doing the right thing and going through with this. The whole family wants me to keel it hush hush

    Default Re: Sex with Minor

    You've done all you can at this point. Yes, you did the right thing in reporting it. Yes, they may end up in foster care.

    And in no state in the US, can a 13 year old consent to sex with a 29 year old.

    There is little reason to think that they would be put in foster care unless there is some reason to believe that their parents were negligent in allowing him to be around the 29 year old cousin/rapist.

    And it is rape because as Dogmatique wrote there is no state in the US that allows a 13 year old to consent to sex with a 29 year old.

    My reading of the original post was the children were already in the system - but that could be a missed comma or something?

    You are right - your family is wrong. The fact that they would want to "Hush, hush" the rapist in your family is appalling. No 13 year old can consent to sex. Your sister needs to be in jail and get some serious help.

    So your cousin and his brother are they in foster care now or are they with their parents?

    Your sister could be criminally charged according to the statues in the state this occurred in.
