The Scottish Government has produced guidelines to say schools and public officials should ignore 13, 14 and 15 year old children having sex, despite this being below the age at which it is agreed they are able to consent, if the professional assessing it thinks it is OK.

Reminds me of Rotherham - wasn't that the girls' fault they were groomed and repeatedly raped? Lots of professionals seemed to think that was OK?

(MN stipulates we mustn't question the motives of those pushing this)

Is this lowering of the age of consent, or is it a restatement of the current situation that prosecution of two young teens is rarely in the public interest? That of course takes age propinquity into account - or is that what is being changed?
