Relax and let it go. 16 year olds are kids, but they're also kids that can legally have sex with adults if they want to (outside of a relationship of authority, which was violated in that situation).
I agree with Cliff and Corsi that 16 year olds have greater levels of agency but I don't think it's relevant to addressing the problem of 1300 kids being dead. If you want to continue to obsess about who thank-insulted you in a sex scandal thread, go do it there. I'm not taking a hard line stance that all kids are equal in the eyes of society and the law, I'm arguing that all kids are equal in the term "kids" and 1300 kids dead from gun violence, regardless of situation or age, is a severe issue.
