It doesn't fly that way in Canada.

All I'm saying is that nobody should be having sex with 16 year olds unless they're 16. Or 17.

BUT NOT 18 AND OLDER, DAG NABBIT!

Exactly. Sodomy is perfectly a-o-k in Newfoundland.

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

Age of consent was moved up. Used to be 14, now it;s 16 unless within 5 years.

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

Yeah, im aware of that. That doesnt effect what I said at all.

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

So grabbing a kid, and trapping them in your home until they do what you tell them is legal in Canada?

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

Typically, if the kid broke your window.

And you're sort of taking it out of context.
He wasn't forcing the kid to give him a blowjob or lick his dogs balls, he was asking who broke his window.
The kid was just scared shitless, is all - as he should have been.

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

The law doesn't care if a kid breaks your window or if you take the situation out of context. I just researched it and the only exception in Canadian law is if one of the abductors is a parent.

In the end no one has the right to grab anyone else and force them into their home or anywhere else for that matter. Common sense dictates that the parents of the child do not press charges, but that does not mean they don't have the right to press charges.

Once again, if the parents were dicks, someone would be in jail right now pending trial.

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

By me saying "Thats not how it works in Canada" I wasn't referring to the law - I was saying that if the kid breaks a window and is at fault, you take him inside to write down his phone number, and the parents find out, generally it's a wash.

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

Then I'm not sure what we're arguing about. My comments were about risk of being prosecuted, not whether or not he should be.

By taking the kid into his house, he put his future in the hands of people he didn't know, and these people had every right to prosecute and if the were DICKS he'd be in JAIL. I'm not sure how this differs from America to Canada.

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

Typh, I think the reason Prof S is pointing this out is because here in America everyone is a douche bag and Prof S is jaded and rightly so. Too many lawyers (lawyer = inherently evil/douche bag), too many people that press charges over CHICKEN SHIT.

Yeah, common sense and RESPECT dictate that the parents wouldn't press charges because paying for your window is the decent thing to do. And if that's cool beans in Canada sweet. It's just hard for us Americans to accept or believe because we have been fucked hard in every legal crevice you can find over stuff that should never have been escalated to a court of "law."

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

That's actually exactly what I was implying. :p

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

Alright, don't want to go back and reread my opening post to see if I said it, but I never actually took him into my house.


A neighbour came out and asked what was going on, so we dealt with it more or less in the street/trail/front yard

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

And I was saying that his life was put in the hands of people he didn't know, regardless of nationality. Even Canadians can be dicks.

Re: I just made some kid cry
 

You said you "drug him back to my place". I think thats where the confusion was.
