Well thanks for the info Pecker, I can see your point about her other kids. The thing is, in most states, the age of consent is 16- I don't know about her state. I would also be interested to know if these boys were doing drugs anywhere else or if she was their only drug-using experience. If they're doing it anyway I don't see how they (the boys) could blame her for choices that they made. If it was going on for a year, they knew what they were getting into. Children as young as 13 have been tried as adults for murder if it is determined that they knew the difference between right and wrong, so I just find it a bit disturbing that this case negates the boy's cuplability in these events. They CHOSE to do drugs and have sex with her, they weren't kidnapped.
Personally, I would never consider doing ANYTHING with a minor age person, because of the legal implications, but I was certainly on the opposite end when I was underage. I never felt "molested" because I chose to have sex with someone who was older. I made decisions based on how I felt about myself and my ability to make decisions at the time, and I was fine. Granted, I wasn't giving up booty for drugs, but if I was it still would have been my choice to take drugs, so I just can't see holding someone else accountable for something I did willingly.
Still, illegal is illegal. We all know the laws and know that if we break them there can be consequences, so I have no real gripe with her being punished, but those boys were not children. Whacko-Jacko hasn't done time for the children he's molested, and they were much younger. It's actually pretty tough to get a conviction on molestation charges alone, I doubt it would have happened if not for the drug use.
"Cool mom" is hardly what I'd call a mature woman who is frolicking about with her son's friends, there is an ickiness factor there that's pretty strong.
I liked being friends with Julianna's friends, but the thought of having any kind of sexual relationship with anyone she brought home would disgust me beyond words. I think my biggest gripe with this woman is why couldn't she find her own playmates? As parents, we're supposed to add to our children's lives, not take away.
