I think this case should be thrown out and not waste any more time. They did not have to sign. No one made them sign. They may have signed because they didn't think they had a choice. That is crazy. I have a 17 year old and I am still her parent and I would not sign a consent form for her to marry for anything. They did have a choice, they chose and now they have to deal with the consequences. I wonder what their daughter and new son-in-law think about this.

I agree, they shouldnt have signed, and they shouldnt have a leg to stand on now. I am the parent of an 18 year old. She wanted to get married at 16, again at 17 (to the same person) and wanted me to sign. I told her if it was true love, she'd still love him at 18 when she could marry without ANYONE'S signature. LOL, she's still with him, but still no marriage, and she turned 18 6 months ago.

I'm totally in agreement with you, Vctroll. My immediate thought was "if you love him when you're 16, and you still love him when you're 18, marry him then." My guess is, that within 2 years, they wouldn't have been together anyway....

Just-Me-07, when speaking of the police and DSS, that's where we go "full circle" back to the "when is your child of age", because when something like this happens, those agencies say that there isn't anything that they can do, because the girl was 16. But, she needed her parents consent to get married? They really need to make up their mind, is it 16, 17, 18 (or in HSM's case about her son's shot, 14)?!! But, as far as suing the school systems now, that's "putting the horse behind the cart"!!! They signed the papers, allowed them to marry, and it's too late to complain now. I KNOW a teenager is hard to control, but I would have a "statutory rape" charge against the 40 yr. old teacher BEFORE THEY GOT MARRIED, to keep him away from MY daughter, if I didn't like it. When the story first came out, the parents said they were alright with it!

I totally agree with both of your statements. The school systems need to keep a "check" on their teachers, and investigate inappropriate action complaints against their staff. It is not only teachers, but recently a janitor was arrested for molesting students. So, yes, the school systems need to take appropriate action against these "pedophiles". But, yes, her parents needed to put their foot down and say "NO". No one forced them to sign the consent forms that enabled their daughter to marry this guy! If pregnancy is the issue, there are plenty of children born out of wedlock. If she is pregnant (although in the picture she didn't look as if she were, but that doesn't mean anything), then her parents could have either helped her raise the child, or gave the child up for adoption. I'm not even saying this is the case. But, if it were me, I would have been contacting the local magistrate to take out charges for statutory rape against him (if that was the case, either). I believe that the parents have received so much "ridicule" over this, that now they feel the need to "cover their actions".

Exactly, DQB, her parents are going to look like that judge who sued the Korean dry cleaners (and I've never seen a lawyer who wasn't "looking to pad his billfold", LOL). They allowed "by consent" their daughter to marry a man that is probably older than her father, and he must be a pedophile preying on children. You're right, he's a "sicko".

I'm sorry, hello1234, you're right, she is a "sicko" too (or a gold-digger) because she probably figures, if she stays married to him, that he'll die before very many years, and then she'll inherit all he has already worked for, and what he will have by then. She has a "child's" mind, and I'm sorry, but at 16, girls usually change boyfriends like they change their clothes! I just don't see it lasting, but it's not for me to guess.

That is so true! That's why I said he is probably older than her father. I don't expect it to last long. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't see anything wrong with someone's age difference if it's within a "decent range". But, 24 yrs.? That's quite a difference. And, the fact that he was her "teacher" made the relationship "off limits" in the first place, in my opinion!!!

done with him???? You need to deal with your child first, if you cannot stop him/her from dating a teacher then you should go and talk to the teacher. Yes the parents could have stopped it but they chose not too. Now they want money for their own failure. How sick....

If her father were any kind of real man, he'd have opened a large can of whup___, when it was first discovered. It might not be legal, but it's highly effective. Then they wouldn't be where they are now. Something is definitely wrong with each member of those families. These kind of news stories, are why NC gets a bad rap.
