runaway lovers

[flipnflap]

how long can they keep themselves hidden? surely they need to go out in search of food and other things? or are they being looked after by someone? hate to say it, but i've not got a god feeling this will end well. you?

[joggerjayne]

Well, given that our Prime Minister refused to meet their President when he was in opposition, we can hardly expect them to fall over themselves to help us.

[ummmm]

It's not a moral argument in the UK.

[sandyRoe]

Would this not be more a matter of priorities? The French probably see this as something of a folie á deux and know they'll show up eventually with their tails between their legs.

[emmie]

dislike i suspect on both sides, only they are not allowed to show it in the face of political expediency. I wonder whether Angela Merkel is so enamoured of the new French President.

[emmie]

what if the girl comes to harm, or has already?

[joggerjayne]

//If the seduction came from her then he should have resisted//

Isnt that a moral argument?

[joggerjayne]

If the girl "comes to harm"?

Then whoever harms her commits an offence recognised in both countries.

\\\what if the girl comes to harm, or has already?\\\

If still in France, then the "harm" will be dealt with under French Law.

[ummmm]

No, she's 15, it's illegal.

You can argue the moral side of things if she was over the age of consent.

[joggerjayne]

But ... she ... is ... in ... France ... where ... she ... is ...

... over the age of consent.

As we are now back to square one, we could just copy and repost the last twenty or so posts.

[Sqad]

JJ...LOL...give up.

[berniecuddles]

but is she still in France??

[joggerjayne]

Well, if we don't know if she's even in France, it might be a bit unfair of us to be criticising the French police for not helping us.

Some dear person has kindly mapped the age of consent across Europe:

So my guess is they've headed south to stay with Uncle Sqad, pick up some bar work and get away from the rotten weather.

And they are doing nothing illegal by doing this as long as they stay out of the UK, ndoora and - oh look at the map and work it out. I'm sure they did.

[Mosaic]

ndoora?
