Hi !
My knowledge in English is not as good as I want, so I will not be able to discuss this deeply and with the proper vocabulary. I will only present here raw ideas of what I think and I apologize for this. 1) As we are Christians, here (well mainly I think) I will use the Sixtine Chapel as an example. The ceiling was painted with naked people. And some time after , another painter was hired to mask the nudity which was unacceptable by current standards. So our vision, as a society evolve. 2) some time ago, we asked priest to have a moral imprimatur when faced with dilemmas (sp ?) . Now we often ask psychologist "shrinks". So a lot of issues are above one judgment and _we_ need exterior advice to help make a decision. For good or for bad is another matter. 3) Do not forget that very young people have a sexual life too. Well before their teen. I remember myself in kindergarten being attracted by the sight of girls panties. It is one of my most ancient memories. So it must have been very pregnant at the time it happen . So I do not think that Jessica Mann was totally unaware of what was happening. I _do not_ say that she was totally able to judge what was happening. But she knows, in a certain way and could have said "no", in a certain way. 4) I am deeply impressed by the feelings expressed by Shannon (and others) feelings showing they WANT to protect their child and do the best they can to have the best education/environment to grow. And I admire this love of their child. But I think Ms Mann has/had the same feelings. And last but not least, I think Jessica can be proud now having been selected by Ms Mann to become her model and become famous. We just have to ask her...
I hope I'm clear enough.
