The Law

[Tigris]

What is the law in England, America and Australia regarding flirting with someone who is in the Upper 6th, High School, etc.?

 

Help, I may have broken a law and don't know it?

 

NOW I'M FEELING CREEPY!

I honestly don't know. Here in the States that is highly frowned upon and depending on what went on could get you in a heap of trouble. I'd say stay away from anyone under 18. We call them jailbait here. Good luck to you!!

I feel CREEPY!

 

When I was 13 a man tried to force himself upon me! I keep that locked away somewhere in my head!

 

Arghhh! I feel like loads of insects are creeping all over my body!

 

Is there anyway we can definitely know how old the person is we are talking to?

 

Could webcam help?

 

 

 

Thanks for your help Jna

Webcam could help - not sure what your problem is though. Could you be a little more specific.

I would have to agree that anyone younger than 18 is jailbait here in the USA. If there were sexual acts performed, one could go to jail for it.

 

Could you explain your situation to us?

 

Webcam may help. Are you meeting people online and they are much younger than yourself? I've given up on the whole "meeting people online" thing. I had a bad experience. You just never know who you are getting or if they are who they say they are. At this point in time, I think meeting people online is not the best idea!

In England it is illegal to have sex with a girl under 16, and for men 14. As for flirting, well that is not covered by the law. it is simply conversation with a touch of interest.

Im sorry to hear about what happened to you, pm iof you need me!

The only way to know how old someone is would be to ask. Of course nothing would stop them frm lying about their age. If you feel creepy about it, then I'd go with your gut and stay away.
