    And it 100% isn’t true. I know in the past there have been cases of underage individuals doing that but they’re usually older than 12. It tends to be school age children who think they know what romance is.

    Not a 12-year-old kid.

      …is 12 not school age?

      Also, are you suggesting that somehow makes a difference?
