Yes, no matter the age hitting anyone is abuse.
If there is abuse, the state will take custody and put them into foster care. If the 16 year old has a job and can support themself, they might be able to get emancipated, but the 15 year old cannot.
No. The 15 year old is a minor while the 18 year old is an adult. If the parents of the 15 year old wished he could be arrested for rape. Charges can be also be filed for child sexual abuse.
NO, this is not a proper relationship and will fall foul of child abuse laws. If someone who is 30 is asking you out then DO NOT go and tell someone you trust what is happening. This could be very dangerous for a 15 year old.
She can't. If there is abuse, report it. The 15 year old can at least get out of the home until she is legal and can get married (at 18 years of age).
In many places, it is illegal for an 18-year-old to have a romantic relationship with a 15-year-old due to age of consent laws. These laws aim to protect minors from potential exploitation or abuse. It is important to be aware of and follow the laws in your specific area.
YES unless you are defending yourself
Yes it is wrong. At 23 this person is an adult and the 15 year old a minor. In some states the age of consent is 16, so 15 is below that age. The 23 year old can be charged with rape and sexual abuse if sex takes place.
Legally, only with permission of the court.
does the term "statuatory rape" ring a bell? it may be possible that the 17 year old could be charged with child molestation and/or abuse even if she is of age in certain states-he isn't!!
Yes. Battery is battery regardless of the age of the batterer and the victim. A 15 year old would most likely be charged in juvenile court.
No, it is not okay for a 15 year old to date a 36 year old because the 15 year old is still a minor.
Unless the 15 year old wants to apply for emancipation and become their own legal gaurdian, they cannot move out. At 15, you can gaurantee there will be dissagreements, fights and heartache in the home. Unless there is abuse, deal with it and realize it will get better as you mature and grow up. * Just FYI, a 15-year-old cannot petition for emancipation in NC. You must be at least 16 in order to petition.
