Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Is it Legal for a !7 year old girl to date a 26 year old boy? And her parents don't know....

I believe the age of consent in Michigan is 16, but if the 26 year old 'boy' who, let's face it, is really a man and has no business dating 17 year old girls in the first place, is in a position of authority, then if there were any physical activity, that may be considered statutory rape. Unless you're a pro hockey player or living in a hollar in West Virginia, the only reason I can see that you'd be doing something like this is because you're having trouble with gals your own age. There's a reason her parents don't know, because it's creepy. There are plenty of older fish in the sea my friend, so for the sake of family harmony and your reputation, stick to the above-21 crowd. You can date them for a long time (especially if your name is Hugh Heffner), and take them to the bar for a drink.
