    This is an offense, no matter if the parents approve. You can read the law here:
    http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/docs/pe/htm/pe.21.htm

    The age of consent in Texas is 17.

    Underage dating, and sexual intercourse is illegal, no matter which way you look at it, between a 16 year old boy and a 24 year old man parental approval withstanding. In fact I would go as far as to say, the 24 year old is a pedophile and should be reported to the authorities.

    Age of consent as of 2011 is 17.

    So just what are fhe parents THINKING consenting to this horrendous arrangement ?

    I don't believe they are waiting for one minute.

    It doesn't change the situation or the people.

    They can legally date. They cannot LEGALLY have sex.

    This is only my opinion but I see the 24 year old as a predator.

    And very possible, if the parents actually approved of this, Children's Services could get involved as a form of child neglect. So not only could the 24 year old be in trouble, the parents of the 16 year old could be in trouble also.

    AND if the parents DON'T know - interference with parents' authority, criminal charge.

    And who are you in this scenario? The 16 year old? The 24 year old? Or the parent?

    Based on spelling and this post - I'll say the OP is a bystander, not a party to the question.

    Yes. My guess is a sibling of the sixteen year old.
