Should we give our daughter consent?
Find answers to your legal question.





Should we give our daughter consent?

Two years ago, our then 14 year old daughter began working with a then 38 year old male track coach. Today, our daughter has come to my wife and me asking us to sign a consent form allowing them to get married. We have suspected there was more going on when we found them text-messaging each other at 2 a.m. and he was giving her rides home from practices. We contacted the school were he works and they say they did an investigation, but found nothing wrong. We tried to get a restraining order against him. We tried to get the police involved. Now we feel we should just give up and sign the form and let them get married. Do you see any problems with us signing a form allowing them to legally marry?

Are you out of your mind? You should be calling the police to have him arrested for statutory rape.

Don't rent her room; might renovate to allow room for a crib when she comes back next year.

I'd probably hunt the guy down and break my foot off in his butt and let the chips fall where they may before I'd let them marry

LOL, you already signed the form. Oh wait, that wasn't you, but you played them on Yahoo Answers.

Roy - no, it is not statutory rape. She is now 16, and it was in the Carolinas. Age of consent is 16 there.

yes, your MATH first of all..Two years ago our 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER?? She is now 16- and wants to marry a 40 year old? What state do you live in where this is not a CRIME? The police don't care a 16 year old is involved with a 40 yar old? You have failed as parents, and you have failed in your job of protecting your daughter and teaching her what is right and what is wrong. I have two daughters and I am disgusted by your question and statement. You would all be arrested in California, and your daughter would be in state custody. Hope you reconsider, or reread what you wrote.

He is 24 years older than her. She is too young to know what is good for her. He should be in jail. So NO dont sign the form, it will ruin her childhood and her life.

sigh. I doubt you even have a daughter. no REAL parent would even ask this question.

That relationship is just CREEPY. If I were u I would NOT sign the consent unless of course your daughter is commited to him and is serious about her love for her track coach. I wouldn't sign the consent, but if your daughter really loves him, it is important she follows her heart and u sign the consent.

this is a tricky one if you say no she may resent you and marry him any way when shes old enough if you say yes then it might all end in tears in time then you have to pick up the pieces personally i think i would talk to her and try to make sure it is really what she wants and then give my consent and just make sure she knows you will always be there for her and then if it dose end in tears at least she will come to you for help and support


napqueen
I wouldn't. Although such a large age difference was common long ago (mostly for procreation purposes), it no longer is looked upon favorably by society. This situation veritably screams "pedophile"! Ask yourself this -- in this day & age what can a mature man possibly have in common with a female so young? Obviously they've done more than maintain a platonic relationship, but I couldn't/wouldn't in good conscience condone their union with my consent. If they love each other so much, let them wait until she's of age to marry. Hopefully they'll break up or won't elope. Good luck.

she is your daughter!!!! that's sick! don't sign the form.. he is a pedophile!!!!! any man that age who is attracted to someone so young has serious problems.

Get a lawyer and find out what rights you have. He has probably broken the law by now. Don't consent to it. This guy needs to be investigated big time. It is not natural for him to do this.

That would make her 16 and him 40.. absolutely not. Take the from to the school- there is their proof. Snag her phone and show them the texts- there is your proof.

You cannot be serious. She is 16!!!!!!!!

HELL NO! Do not give her consent that is ridiculous! This guy is a pervert pedophile!!!


Call the police. Period.

Age gap is way way way too far apart. Not to mention 14yr olds have alot more to take care of than marrage, they are barely experienced in life. Have her try again when she is 24 and has lived a litte, experienced things, and is overall a more life-experienced person. I would also have to question the nature of a 38yr old doing this to a 14yr old. Most likely a child molester or atleast one in the works. 38yr olds should be looking for someone 30-45yrs old.


jmdavis333
Where do you live, each state has laws concerning statutory rape. Use them to your advantage.

Are you kidding she's 16. There is no way you should even be thinking this is slightly allowable. Cut him off, Lock up your daughter, Move if you have too. He's over twice her age and should know better, He's a f*cking pedafile that should burn in h*ll!
