    It is not a “child”, you imbecile.

    It is the stereotypical hysterical Karen who will say anyone under 18yrs is “my baby, my child!”.

    There is a huge huge huge difference between a 5 year old (an actual fucking child), and a 17 year old. One has gone all the way through puberty into young adulthood, significantly more brain development and experiences. A 17yr old is not a child.

    We have something called language, which has words, with definitions. Fetus, infant, baby, toddler, child, preteen, adolescent, teenager, young adult, adult.

    Changing the definition of child to any age under 18 just to virtue signal your agenda, is blatantly disingenuous.

    A 17 yr old has plenty experience enough to know not to put a real gun to his head and pull the trigger. Huge huge huge difference if a 5yr old does it.

    17 is not a child.
