Va. Tells Men: No Sex With Young Girls
Edited on Mon Jun-14-04 06:17 PM by Fenris
RICHMOND, Va. - The state is posting billboards with messages such as "Isn't she a little young?" as part of a campaign to dissuade men from having sex with underage girls.

The campaign is aimed at reducing the number of young girls who have children with older men, the Virginia Department of Health said Monday.

<SNIP>

Messages such as "Isn't she a little young?" and "Sex with a minor, don't go there" also appear on posters, coasters and napkins in bars, restaurants and stores in five cities.

1. Remember that, Fenris.
I know she looks good, brother. But she's only 15. Stay away.

3. Good grief, what kind of action is going on down there (not that it
doesn't happen everywhere). But billboards & napkins?????

Do they have to warn them about their sisters and first cousins as well?

This just seems over-the-top.

10. aimed at reducing the number of young girls who have children
with older men. these men target young girls...they get preganant and end up on welfare. i've heard of similar efforts in other places.

22. True
The younger the girl, the more likely that the father of her baby is over 21.

It happens quite frequently.

15. That should be ok in Virginia, unless
the 19 year old is a black guy and the 17 year old is a white girl.

20. IMO too funny
Women who seduce underage men? Perhaps I'm out of touch with the dating scene, but way back when I was dating, I found it embarrassing to date men who were even a couple years younger. Being viewed by others as a "Sugar Momma" is IMO a profound embarrassment - not a sign of distinction ... well, it wouldn't be for me anyway.

If I ever end up single again, Virginians be advised: Lock up your Grandfathers, and for heaven's sake, take away their Viagra. LOL

21. Unfortunately there have been some
pretty sick cases around here, though I'm sure they're either rarer than cases involving underage girls, or they simply aren't mentioned.

The ones I read about involved teachers of middle-school age boys.

31. But that issue would be a moot point,
if adults weren't sexually abusing children.

38. bout damn time!
one of the reasons I wanted to leave my last job is that if I had to see one more pregnant girl under 14 I was about to go out with a machete and find the guys ( over 18, most of them) that did the deed. Creeps! Taking advantage of young girls, and I mean girls is disgusting!

sorry, I just hate that crap!
