Not at all - but it might dissuade some would be paedophiles from going along that route - and with laws against it, paedophiles can be punished.
You can't just have a law free country!

There are four states with laws against same gender sex. There are several states with laws against oral sex.

I know it's wrong, nasty, extremely vexing and utterly revolting!! btu what can me thinking that do? NOTHING!! what have my thoughts and opinions done to be able to stop the two people involved? NOTHING!

it's incest and inbreeding, it is also occuring in a society where it is not acceptable. but think of the places in the world where the only resort they are left to (and i can't bear trying to imagine how they can) increase the population is incest. what our opinions are and what whatever we believe or hate, we can't stop it from occuring

Murder is wrong: you infringe on someone's right.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Why is infringing someone's right wrong?
Why don't I have the right to kill someone?

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Well, those are loaded questions that has been debated for millenia. I can refer you to Hobbes' Leviathan, Plato's Meno and Republic, Locke's Human Understanding, and Mill's On Liberty. Even with that, you may not find a conclusive answer. Perhaps because there is no conclusive answer and only faith.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Is it because infringing someone's right's is morally wrong?

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Nope. For example, self defense.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

On this, I can *entirely* agree with you.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

They're trying to infringe on your right to live, isn't that morally wrong?

Has anyone else been red repped by someone who HASN'T posted to this thread?

That's very nasty and underhand to my mind.At least I'm contributing something to the thread even if you don't agree with my opinion. :(

It will be interesting to see what sentence she is given later in the month.As for him not being charged with the offence perhaps it was him could called the police or perhaps when he was questioned he agreed to errr... turn her in.

It's a very puzzling and I wonder how common a situation it is?I can't recall another case like it.

Incog.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Because it is *NOT* abuse and giving it an emotive label does not make it a fact.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Do you not consider incest to be 'abuse'?

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Hmm! Good question Russ.

I think perhaps between an adult and a minor it is very clearly abuse.Between two adults I'm not sure.That's not because I condone it,it's because I'm not certain it is not so easy to abuse an adult as it is a child.

Re: Mum had sex with son
 

Whether between two adults, two minors or an adult and a minor, I'd still call it abuse.
