This Blog is dedicated to getting the age of verbal sexual consent raised to the age of 24



For too long we have allowed the rape of our children without question.



We understand that you need to be 21 to drink, 19 to smoke, 18 to vote, and yet some places allow kids as young as 14 to give informed consent to have sex?



This madness has to stop, and the only way we can protect our children is by raising the age of consent to 24.



Sending a teenager into the world to fend for themselves is like sending a drunk driver to drive home. We recognize that the teenage brain is underdeveloped, and yet we allow them to be taken advantage of and to fall prey to there own impulses without check.



I say this ends now!

Why 24?



"The frontal lobe does not fully mature until approximately 23 – 25 years of age. The immaturity of the adolescent’s judgment center explains much of the inability of adolescents to properly interpret experiences in the environment and thus make appropriate and healthy decisions."
