Acatcalledcolin. In this case we are talking about a child having a "relationship" with a teenager. When I was in secondary school, I didn't want anything to do with primary school kids.
Why was this teenage boy having sex with a preteen? I don't know what your memories are, but the difference in primary and secondary school is massive. Not so much handholding and far more personal responsibility is expected. By the middle of the first year, you damn near forget primary school.
Quite frankly, I think that the girl was coerced into sex. I also think that despite the grandparents working, there is a a laissez faire culture amongst them, especially the girl's two parents. What happened to the concept of family evolution? Just because I had my daughter quite young, and she's turned out alright (with family support), was I meant to foster a laissez faire culture towards sex, responsibility, personal ambition and personal relationships?
I remember my friend realising that her daughter was pregnant just because the shared pool of sanitary products wasn't being used up as quickly as before. Her daughter had to fess up at two months pregnant.
At least this girl's parents (I say this only because the parents appear not to be together, yet they BOTH didn't realise that something was amiss) will now HAVE to pay their daughter some mind. They are both probably still going through some kind of trauma caused by being young parents themselves, because it looks very sticky that neither of them noticed a change in their daughter.
As for the boy? Well he needs support, too...but I aint gonna lie..from the outside looking in, the whole set of these people seem very lax. I'm still laughing mirthlessly at the father's contention that these two kids have been in a "relationship" for a year. Loving people, but seemingly lacking in self awareness, are this lot (kids excepted).
