Re: A question from a parent
Look at the actual dates of birth. If they are within four years of each other, they're okay. The 21 year old could technically be charged with Corruption of the Morals of a Minor, I suppose, but I've never heard of a case like that. Moreover, the government doesn't go looking to intrude into people's lives. The only way that anyone would get prosecuted here, even if they were five years apart, is if the parents screamed bloody murder to the police.
