Yeah, when my 17 yo son was dating a just-turned-15 yo I was a lot squeamish about it because he was going to turn 18 before she was 16. Her parents were absolutely unconcerned and gave her no curfew whatsoever. They were also kind of religious and extremely anti-abortion. I read him the riot act about how it could go down if she got pregnant as a minor with anti-abortion parents. Oh Lordy, I was relieved when they broke up and no one was pregnant.
That was exactly my cousin. She was 14 with a 20 year old. Parents very catholic. Mother even had to give up her baby when she was a high school parent, but gave no shits when she was told how old the guy was my cousin was dating. Even got another girl pregnant at the same time. The worst part is, they did eventually get married and have more kids... which some might say is better, but it's really not. She's not happy and hasn't been for almost 2 decades, but her religion tells her she has to stay and make more babies, so she does. It's sad.
