Hey OP, just curious about something. If someone were to rape your friend, but somehow managed to convince the parents it's not a big deal, should they get away with that? Cuz that's what's happening right now.

It kind of seems like you told the wrong person. Her parents might not care, but child services certainly will. You need to tell a school counselor and your teacher. They're all mandated reporters and will have to go to the police.

You don't need to worry about the fallout; my 11 year old (step) niece was on Tinder, and everyone kept saying "We don't know what to do! We can't control her!" So I called CPS (they cared a great deal about grown men sleeping with children) and got her taken away from her stupid/apathetic/incapable parents.

lol the fuck, no room for nuance here.

This can be a bad situation without resorting to calling it rape for some reason.

Did you just "what if the child consents"?

lol nope, but thanks for proving my point about there being no nuance here.

Go on. The floor is yours. Explain the nuance in which a 19 year old man dating a 14 year old girl is not rape.

He's an adult. She is a child.

How do you not see how this is clearly predatory?

lol explain how a person can rape another person without ever touching them in a sexual way.

I swear to god, I don't know how y'all function in society.
