[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So she snuck around, slept with her boyfriend and hid it from her parents, and told her aunt when he broke up with her to go to college.

The aunt's role is to offer her a shoulder to cry on.  Her role is to learn from the experience.

Do the parents even know about any of this?  [/quote]

What part of 14 do you fail to understand ? Did you have good judgment at 14? I sure did not.

She was almost a child. I am sure the parents of full of shame as they would not have known.

The boy picked her up and drove her to his house regularly without her parents permission. He was of legal age and she was not.

If the parents want to press charges they have a strong case. They need to consult with experts as to what would be in the best interests of the victim. [/quote]

She's not a victim.  She made some bad decisions and now she's dealing with the consequences.

Her parents should know that she's struggling and cutting, if they don't already know, and get her some counseling.  Therapy may or may not help but it's the appropriate step for the parents to take next.  [/quote]

She is a victim. She was 14 and no where close to legal age of consent in any US state.

He was of legal age and taking her away from school grounds durinf school day without her parents knowledge or permission. She was too young to resist his pressure.

I would press charges if she were my daughter.[/quote]

Sure glad these posters blaming the minor victim and excusing his criminal behavior are not my parents.

Must add restrictions on leaving school without my knowledge and permission to basic HS rules.[/quote]

Sounds like this girl's parents already had restrictions on leaving school - she was already sneaking around.

Blaming the victim?  Empowering the girl by saying that she's not a victim.  She made some bad choices.  But she's not a victim.  She'll learn from this and move on.  [/quote]
