Down like this, you've been dismissed...

Debra Lafave, a 24 year old teacher in Florida, has sex with a 14 year old male student. She's charged with statutory rape. Then today, the prosecutors drop all the charges. They want to spare the victim the ordeal of a trial.

What the HELL??????

Had this been a 24 year old MALE teacher and a 14 year old FEMALE student, would this same outcome have occurred??? I think not. So we're not gonna spare a 14 year old FEMALE student the ordeal of a trial? 14 year old girls can handle that moreso than 14 year old boys?? God, what a horrible decision!! I just can't understand it.

Or maybe it means if you're a cute, young petite blonde chick, with big blue eyes who looks good in a dress, we have a different system of criminal justice for you.

And this is in Florida, where apparently it's okay for a woman to have sex with a 14 year old, but GOD FORBID a 14 year is adopted by a loving gay couple, even if one of that couple is the kids biological parent.

What hypocracy! And what a travesty of justice...in both examples.

yes I agree on the double standards..

WOAH..the word CUTE doesn't do this girl justice. She's freeking HOT! That 14 year old was one lucky little bastard! Imagine how much he bragged about tapping that? lol

Is it really difficult for a biological parent to adopt his own child if he's gay? Wouldn't adoption be unecissary?

I know that if something should happen to my ex wife, my kids would just move right in with me no questions asked or lawyers consulted.

Great post :)

In Florida, and I believe Virigina as well, they have taken children away from biological parents. The case I know of involved a lesbian and her partner trying to get custody of her kids. The father's parents sued for custody and were given it because the mother, by virtue of being lesbian and for no other reason, was declared to be an unfit parent.
