She seems to dream of being Stalin, or possibly Erzbet Bathory."Like" age 18, or at age 18? If not higher? You don't really seem to have a solid foundation from which you would build your gallows. A gallows that you would seem to use without hesitation....And that's where you hit a "grey" area. When do they stop being "kids", and then start being "grown"?Whether or not they've acted on their impulses, is rather irrelevant.
Actually its immediately relevant. As its the difference between a 'thought crime' and an ACTUAL crime.
We don't punish or imprison people for things they think about doing, but never do. We imprison people for things they've actually done.
You're demanding we put people in prison on desire alone. And by that standard, any man who has ever wanted to have sex with a woman who isn't interested in him.......should be put in prison for rape. Or killed.
Um, no.
Wanting to rape kids and have sex with a grown woman or man? Two completely different things.
When they aren't developing anymore and are emotionally and mentally an adult, like age 18 at least, if not higher. Ever observe a group of teenagers? They are children still, obviously. Having been one and raised one, I know.
