Logic behind criteria for abuse

Suppose that a 14-year-old American girl goes on vacation to Italy and willfully (and lawfully) sleeps with a 30-something Italian man. Do scholars/physicians/psychologists/courts etc. in the US consider her to be abused sexually? Will she need to go into therapy once back in the States just like her peers who had intercourse with an adult on American soil? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.71.153.13 (talk • contribs) 18:53, 24 November 2014

Your question has no answer. It contains too many unjustified assumptions, oversimplifies an extremely complex issue, and confuses laws/morality and medical science.Legitimus (talk) 20:20, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Nevertheless, medical/moral/legal issues got lumped together in the article's very lead and they purport to add up miraculously...— Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.71.153.13 (talk • contribs) 21:36, 24 November 2014

That is one issue I pointed out with your question. I pointed out several issues. You seem to come to the article with either an poor understanding of the subject-matter and/or the English language, or an agenda. So here's the deal: You want to have a conversation about specific changes to make to this article? If so, good; go click "Create Account" at the top of the page, make an account, and we'll discuss. I'm not interesting in talking to a random Polish IP address about a locked article, because it was locked for a very good reason. However, if you're intent to just soap-box about your views or disagreement about the general subject matter, which includes asking loaded questions, this is expressly prohibited under wikipedia's rules and there is nothing further to discuss and this thread will be deleted or archived.Legitimus (talk) 14:50, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps creating two articles on CSA-one dealing with medical concerns and the other with legal/moral ones-could help to prevent a paradox like the one I presented. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.71.153.13 (talk • contribs)

The paradox you presented is in no way brought up in this article, because the article only gives brief, passing mention of legal issues and no "criteria" based chronological age are used in the manner you described. Hence, your concern still makes no sense. Legal issues are already handled in Laws regarding child sexual abuse and Age of consent.Legitimus (talk) 17:48, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Anon, the opening should sum up the contents of the article, and the article as a whole certainly does not need to "add up". We are an encyclopedia, remember. ♫ SqueakBox talk contribs 22:21, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
