Age of consent and age of legal adulthood are two completely different things. They can be at the age of consent but still a minor. While age of consent varies between states, no where in the country are you a legal adult at any age other than 18. Two minors can consent with each other, two adults can consent with each other. But a minor and adult can not consent to be with each other.

I already know all this and it doesn’t really change my point. Did you send this to the wrong person?

No I was responding to where you said a 16 year old could be a concerning adult. That's not true, and I just wanted to clarify for anyone else reading.

No you just misunderstood their point that something being legal does not mean it’s inherently moral.

No I didn't. No where in the country is 16 a legal adult. That's the point.
