Raising the age of consensual sex to 18 in all states!

This petition was published by Tere on Mar 27, 2007

We, the undersigned, call on the government to raise the age of consensual sex to age 18 (when one is a true adult and able to make these types of decisions) in All states.

Children because they are children, do not have the ability to consent to interactions of a serious nature with adults. They can not sign legal documents. They can not sign consents for surgery. They can not be responsible for their own bank accounts or consent to an adult's request to drive a car. And they have no ability - being children - to consent to sexual interactions either with much older children or adults. Their agreement to such an interaction does not constitute consent. The adult's role is to protect the child from the dangers of engaging in behavior with potentially serious consequences. Many child molesters -65%- fail to recognize this important fact!
