I think Lawtonfogle meant the opposite. If the minor isn't your kid, but you're aware of it, you should still make it your business.

I think he was pointing out the bug in the rule of (underage, not your kid).

Yeah I meant "your kid and underage" as your business in a personal sense. I assumed underage being the law's business was implied.

I like your choice of the word "bug." That's why I come to HN.

So if someone else is having sex with their underage daughter, I shouldn't care?

In a legal jurisdiction where the average person has ability to influence the law, the areas of personal business and legal business have significant overlap.

Consider the case where the individual is underage, isn't your kid, and the one(s) whose kid they are doesn't care.
