That's the problem. I don't think anyone is saying what happened was acceptable.
The issue is that there's a difference between a 16 year-old adolescent who made a ridiculously stupid decision and an adult sexual predator, or even a 16 year-old violent rapist. Since we don't have any of the information that the police and/or prosecutors have, we can't really conclude where on the spectrum this event lies.
Sadly, I would guess that this girl was not the only 12 year-old girl in the City of Calgary who had sex on the long weekend, and she's probably not the only one to do it with a 16 year-old (or older). If they weren't dumb enough to do it publicly in broad daylight with other kids looking on, nothing likely would have ever come from it.
