    Done with this convo with you now.



    And I know - you're right. I just couldn't let this one go. But seriously... I can't even.
    I get that fear, I have seen it happen to someone close to me. They unfortunately were lied to about the age of someone, after they found out the real age they cut ties with said person. Sadly, the deed was done and their family got involved was a mess. The minor who lied even admitted that they lied and did so because they wanted to. Given their admission of lying and they did take into consideration the adults mental capacity. They did get a lighter sentence though sadly their life will be over once they are released and who also know what prison does to someone especially a non neurotypical.

    I get they were naive and gullible for believing someone blindly. Either way I get people would try to misuse such a consideration but still I cannot shake that it was unfair. Granted this has nothing to do with erp but I hope you can see why I have a bias against just using blanket terms when it comes to adults because it would be misused.

    Please note I am not saying that they are not without fault, but from a personal bias it does not sit well with me to see someone close to you life forever altered not for the better over a lie that just went on for far too long. Though I do respect them for when the truth came they cut ties and they accepted their punishment. They are far more mature then myself. From me pov he should not have been punished for someone lying to them. Though I get this is the society we live in though does not mean I have to agree with it.

    Please note I do understand such a consider would be ripe for abuse. Though if it protects adults that are vulnerable I think it is worth it.
