On 04/05/06 Sean from WA said: I am 16 years old and am dating an 18 year old girl, but she lives in CA. I want to go see her and my parents wont allow me to because they belive somthing might happen. Do you belive this is a valid reason to stop me(both in your opinion and in the laws eyes). I understand my mothers perspective but we have both chosen to have a non sexual relationship till we are married. Can you help me show my parents that it isnt agenst the law to see her. She belives that if I go to CA and somthing were to happen that because she let me go she could get in trouble.
