Does anyone know how likely it would be for a 16 year old boy to be prosecuted for having sex with his 15 year old girlfriend? Their relationship lasted for well over a year and they were having sex when they were both 15.

i did see an article there from the irish times saying teachers in ireland are complaining theyba re poorly trained if ast all on how to report signs of child abuse
And they were the school principals.

so i guess that eire is maybe no better than the uk

there are far more teachers than social workers and i guess you cant investigate whats not reported can you?


i wouldnt believe all you read. We do training with the garda teachers etc and they are duty bound by law to report and they do
Pinktwink, sorry if this has already been said (I havent read through the whole thread, ) but the social mores in Uk are not the same as Eire. Even though not socially acceptable, under age sex is not so stigmatised as in Catholic Eire.
rosetta we have noted that and the difference i hsve workrd in both
Lumey, that was quick.

Sorry if I came late to the debate
pinky im only saying in the irish times the head of the school teachers union said that the majority of teachers had no training at all
and they had reported this to the hsa


thankfully we didnt have the likes of the magdalene sisters in the uk either
i believe the work houses were done away with a long time before in the uk
maybe ethel can help on that?
ethal regards the girls having to come for abortions

im not pro or against abortion
but if a young girl wants one so as not to ruin her life and be a drain on the state and or family +then why the hell should they travel abroad?
thats a throwback to the catholic churches grasp on the government in eire
another reason the abusive nuns and priiests got away with it

pinky you cant deny tjhat
tgough as i said there wouldve been no chance of a social worker makinga difference back then
+
as is evident looking back at the cases of the christian brotherhood as an example

i believe there are thousands of cases reported
and still unresolved to this day.

corbsy your question was answered ages ago
dont attempt to look down or talk down to me
yopu may have a diploma of some sort

but your stupidity is deserving of one also
youve been told here by people in the legal profession that no charges would result yet continue to ramble on
the discussion has progresssed
go polish the frame your diploma is in and think how clever you are

you are a tw@t and i dont need a certificate to see that
I find it interesting that the age of consent in Spain is 13, yet it has a much lower teen pregnancy rate than the UK (6 in 1000 compared to UK's 20 in 1000)
Yes ethel that is the case.
i dont know how that would go regards an adult but certainly for children of the same age i think its perfectly legal



pinky regards eire

look here

this covers ahistry of neglect in eire from 1858 right up to 2002

There may be similar ones for the uk

but the industrial schools is the difference between the uk
and i believ a lot of them were run by priests / nuns


etehl do you have any idea when workhouses ceased to be in the uk?
i think theyre the closest to industrial schools.
unless anyone can correct any mistake i may have made .

Legend - there were 'mother and baby homes' in the UK right up until the 1970s. Some were very good, some were very bad indeed. There are numerous books about it.

Usually the aim of the home was to get the mother to agree to adoption, and the girl was 'out of sight' from neighbours to avoid scandal for the family.

If you are seriously interested in the recent social history of these places this book is a good starting point:

Ethel the age of consent might be 13, wrongly in my opinion, but Spanish girls are still strictly chaperoned.

What if a 13yr old girl is , I dont know what the word is, involved in sex, does that make her knowingly consensual?
The late 1920s saw the last workhouse, by the way
i think they were stopped in 1913 called poor law institutions .
and then done away with in 1929


any help?
Rosetta - not the Spanish girls that lived near the apartment I had in Spain. They were riding pillion on their boyfriends' scooters and having a high old time of it. And very chic they looked too
rosetta i think she would be consensual therefore not breaking the law
though if it was an adult say over 16
then there may be a lwa regarding that
i cant say

but in my opinion that would be sensible
perhaps even as high as 18 maximum
but any higher in my opinion would be wrong
Spanish law:

An individual who, by use of deceit, commits sexual abuse with a person over thirteen years and under sixteen years, will be punished with imprisonment for one or two years, or a fine equivalent to twelve to twenty-four months..

To the effects of the previous section, it is considered unconsenting sexual abuse those that are committed against persons under thirteen years, unconscious persons or persons whose mental illness is taken advantage of.
edit] Spain
The age of consent in Spain is 13, as specified by the Spanish Penal Code, Article 181(2). However, if deceit is used in gaining the consent of a minor under 16 years an individual can be charged under Article 183(1) upon parental complaint.

"181(1) El que, interviniendo enga�o, cometiere abuso sexual con persona mayor de trece a�os y menor de diecis�is, ser� castigado con la pena de prisi�n de uno a dos a�os, o multa de doce a veinticuatro meses.
(Approximate translation: An individual who, by use of deceit, commits sexual abuse with a person over thirteen years and under sixteen years, will be punished with imprisonment for one or two years, or a fine equivalent to twelve to twenty-four months...)
(2) A los efectos del apartado anterior, se consideran abusos sexuales no consentidos los que se ejecuten sobre menores de trece a�os, sobre personas que se hallen privadas de sentido o de cuyo trastorno mental se abusare."
(Approximate translation: To the effects of the previous section, it is considered unconsenting sexual abuse those that are committed against persons under thirteen years, unconscious persons or persons whose mental illness is taken advantage of....)"

well i was close to the law at a guess


in reality thats not that different from the uk law.
AS WE WERE SAYING TO CORBSY
IF OVER 13 AND UNDER 16 AND CONSENSUAL AS LONGA S THERE WAS NO FORCING THEN NO CHARGES


ETHEL IVE SEEN A FEW FILMS AND TV PROGS SUCHA S MAGDALENE SISTERS AND IVE SPOKEN TO FOLK IN EIRE WHO SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF NUNS AND PRIESTS AND THE GARDA EITHER DID NOTHING OR THEY WERE TOO SACRED TO EVEN REPORT IT



I KNOW THINGS WILL HAVE CJANGED BUT I THINK ITS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING AND THE IRISH GOVERNMENT WAS COMPLICIT BY THEIR LACK OF ACTION

IN MY OPINION
I'm not saying you are right or wrong cause I dont have the statistics, but the generality is that local girls are not so "outrageous" in their behaviour, but far more conventional.
snap ethel


in all honesty i cant say ive seen anywhere ner the amount of schoolgirl mothers here that i could see back in scotkand
and according to a friends 17 year old daughter its rare at her school

apparently the spanish girls treasure their figure when young

they say here that a spanish woman is always slim until shes married. lol

and im sure you saw more than a few ethel?
Irish people no longer walk round with pigs under their arms.....I think you need another visit.
roseatta to be involved in sex theyd need to be either knowingly consesnsual or not


unless they were drugged i presume
