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.
