For a time there I wondered. 16 YO took off with the boyfriend and told a judge she was pregnant and he married them. She was almost 17 and he said that at 17 nothing would be done about BF being 8 yrs older. No problem [for him]. Lasted longer than I expected. BTDT have the tee shirt. If I lived through it and ended up with 8 wonderful kids & in-laws that I am close to, and 6 grandkids [including the three on the way] it can happen to anybody, no matter what the kids are like now.
