Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Disintegration of trust between mother and child

Your mother cannot do anything. You would have to be the witness of the young man's behavior.There is nothing illegal in a kiss. There is nothing illegal about having a close relationship.What is needed here is for you and mom to sit down and try to speak honestly to each other, and to learn to trust each other.Mom is obviously concerned about your welfare but is not handling her concern very well. And you have not sufficiently reassured her that she has reason to trust you and that you would not be so very foolish to have a sexual relationship while you are so very young.

Remember that while you are in school, your mom is hearing terribly devastating statistics about teenage pregnancy. And while she is listening, she is saying to herself that to be a good mom she must protect you and stay aware of where you are, with whom you are friendly, and what you are doing. She is thinking she would be negligent were she not to stay on top of all this. It is difficult in today's climate to be a "good parent" and it sounds like she's trying very hard to be one -- but maybe too hard and is losing sight of where her efforts should be. Instead of threatening you, she should be asking you to take a walk and see the flowers and the sun and . . . and you should be willing to take the stroll with her. Get to know each other. Get to trust each other. If you do that, you won;t have to worry what she would do to you and your friend.

Hope that you and 'mom' could make an effort to listen to each other. . .

I agree w/Ms Johnson's suggestions about attempting to reconcile w/your mother on this matter.Although, I am not licensed to practice law in your state and do not know what the elements of your criminal statutes, I have observed some prosecutors attempt to file charges against young adult men having relationships with minor girls in the State of KS. Worst possible scenario in my state, certainly not for kissing, but for deeper relationship, criminal charges might be filed against him and you don't want to play that scene.Talk w'mom and work this out between the two of you. Good luck.
