Err, excuse me???
You do not "decide if someone should know better or not" as a sort of pro-active decision!
We don't have (nor should we have) competency tests to decide if someone is capable of making a decision or not on a "moral" (or whatever) issue, we *presume* their "innocence" ie that they are capable of doing so.
Or would you prefer we have a sort of "Department of Pre-Crime" putting people on a lie detector and asking them "do you want to have sex with a child?" and locking up anyone who failed??

So who are you to decide that "nobody's getting hurt"?

Where did *I* say that *I* was the one to make this decision??
