Unless you're both 16 or older you are in a world of trouble if they want to *make* (...) (23 years ago, 1-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Girlfriends Guardians!!! —Rick Hallman
      (...) We are both over age 16. She is 18, turned that today did she. :) (...) She is 18, as I said before, and if i understand what you and James are saying this makes her an adult and willing to do as she pleases. And my parents love her, I just (...)

       (...) Just noticed this thread while trying to find info on clones, but anyway. I am an attorney in Washington State.

         Re: Girlfriends Guardians!!! —Dave Schuler
     This doesn't really apply to the root question anymore, but... (...) I've wondered about that as well. On one hand, if a medically demonstrable risk continues to exist that an individual will commit a crime again, is it not in the public's interest (...)

         Re: Girlfriends Guardians!!! —Maggie Cambron
      (...) Yes. (...) Yes. (...) But why should the rest of society have to live with the possibility that the offender's behavior may not be controlled?

          Re: Girlfriends Guardians!!! —Christopher L. Weeks
      (...) I don't think so. But only because I think that they should remain in treatment until they do not pose a credible threat. (...) They need more help than punishment if that's what you you both mean. (...) What's the difference between them and (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
     
          Re: Girlfriends Guardians!!! —Dave Schuler
      (...) Do you allow for life-long treatment, even if that treatment necessitates incarceration?

          Re: Girlfriends Guardians!!! —Christopher L. Weeks
      (...) I think so. I mean, if they're a threat, then we can't very well let them just hang out and hurt people. If we can fix them, then obviously we do. But in most cases I think psychiatry is a waiting game until they just get over it...if they (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Girlfriends Guardians!!! —Larry Pieniazek

        Re: Girlfriends Guardians!!! —Lindsay Frederick Braun
    The subject line made me think, at first, that we were talking about Paradisa mecha. ;) (...) Yes, but as long as she's under her guardians' (they're not her parents?) roof, they have the ability to monitor and modify her behaviour. Her other (...)
