My boyfriend has a 9 year old daughter and I can tell you, if she was allowed to date she'd be pregnant by 11. And I love the girl to death, but she has boundaries FOR A REASON. If kids don't have boundaries they will run a muck. And get themselves into situations they have no right to be in, that's why kids have parents. And fortunately this board!
Honestly, I think the fire analogy was really the most fitting I can come up with for the situation.
