Re: My girl, Mary

"I doubt she would because she sees me more as an uncle than boyfriend material. If, though, she did that I think I would tell her that, first off, it is illegal and I could go to jail if anyone found out. Then I'd tell her that some day the right boy will come along, but meantime there's no hurry,"

Do you mean that what she currently has been doing with the several boys her age she has gone steady (or unsteady) with is something that would be illegal for you to do?

In your jurisdiction, are boys her age formally exempt from criminal responsibility for consensual activities, or are they not?

If she were expecting a child of a boy her age who has dumped her or who she was going unsteady with in the first place, would you be willing to support her and her child?
