Don't go shallow with this....
The circumstances are tragic....
(And channel 4 is sounding more like a goofy tabloid)
Her judgement...I might go into a bit too much psychoanalysis here but....
If she is 27,....single....(no luck in college:-(....and singles groups are just, ..sad. She is not allowed to go Bar Hopping, and if her church has very few available males in the 25-35 yr old age (Divorcee's are NOT desired)...
She simply gave up on waiting & searching...turning to someone generally unexperienced and enticed by something forbidden. She gave in,...and then found she could get away with it, thus events continued for a year.
His?...hormones are pumping by the time you are 15,...and our society says: NO,...you are not old enough to build a long term relationship...and your judgement is too immature. On top of that--all the cable music videos & lure of sex in the media is almost constant. Thus, he caves in to something kinky, wrong, but it seems so unbelievable. his peers? will likely provide lousy advice.
Results?
*You KNOW he can't return to school (in the middle of his Junior year)
*You KNOW she can't ever return to teaching despite 4+ years of undergraduate & likely post-graduate work. References for her next job?
Explanations to her Kindergartners??
*You KNOW that the relationship will not be reformed when he becomes a consenting adult (what will he tell his fiance' in 4-5 years?)
*How many seminars will be forced on the teachers and students to try to prevent this from happening again?
THERE is NO light at the end of the tunnel on this.
What is needed? Repentance, Forgiveness, & grace....time to rebuild lives.
NOT: Humor, Rumor, and unending condemnation.
