<p>Would it be wrong to say that it is like prostitution (aside from the whole selling yourself part and the fact that prostitution is looked upon, in most circles, as immoral). By banning it you continue to let it happen, but the mutual condition is deteriorated. You create a trend of sex slaves tunneled from Mexico. If one is raped you prevent the chance for proper treatment. If legalized you make the environment more transparent. Authorities can do what needs to be done. If they are raped the authorities can take care of it. </p>
<p>In the same light, by “banning” dating you essentially tell your kid that you are not interested in it. They do it anyway. When something less than optimal happens you are not there to help them through it. </p>
<p>Let’s just pray prostitution and dating are not too similar.</p>
