In this day and age, yes. Children are much more sheltered now. I certainly wouldn't want my daughters involved with older men at 12. But at the same time, 100 years ago, things were different. The world was a harder place, and the reality is, 12 year old girls were married and having babies. I don't think things should go back to the way they were, but you must realize that by UNDERSTANDING why men look at younger girls (I explained this in an earlier post), it's much harder to justify crucifying men who DO like looking at younger girls. I by no means encourage them acting upon it, but far be it from me to deny them their right to LOOK and nothing else.
Then again, when I was 12 I already had a job aside from school, and I was pretty much running my household.
