(7,932 posts)Once you turn 18 you are a legal adult, its doesn't matter if you in high school or not and that's wrong. Did they have evidence that Kate wanted to hurt their daughter in any way? How is an 18 year old having sex with a 14 year old any different from 2 14 year olds doing it, if they love each other? No one would blink an eye if it was a 23 year old and an 18 year old, hell no one seems to blink an eye when its an 18 year old and a 70 year old. Why is 18 being an "adult" what changes in that one day from when you are 17 to 18? Nothing, your mind set hasn't changed. The only thing that's changed is your legal status. If Kate was 20 and in college it might be different but they were both in High School. I never understood 18 being an "adult" I wasn't ready to support myself or live on my own when I was 18, some people might be but the majority aren't. Their daughter should have a say in this, even though she's still under her parents roof, if they can't prove that Kate did anything to hurt this girl or any intention do to so, there should be no case. The parents probably don't realize it yet but they've also alienated their daughter and she'll never trust them again and will probably hate them for the rest of their lives.
