The law doesn't say parent or guardian. Only an adult. It can be a parent, sibling, friend of the family, whatever.

> Depends. If it's a _child_ proper, like under the age of 14-15 at the _highest_, then no

The law applies to children aged 16 and younger.

Same still applies for anyone who is not one of the threeish people I had in my close circle at that point.

> The law applies to children aged 16 and younger.

I said I disagreed with what the law states, and listed my reasons. I know it's 16 and younger, I said that I believe it should be 14, or 15 at the absolute highest.

16-year olds aren't children.
