It's all along the lines of the illegals are criminals and whatever happens to them they deserve it logic.

While we're at it, we should remove all protection to illegal mexican women who are victims of domestic battering. They're illegal so it's aiight to beat 'em up. Heck, it's encouraged - yeehaw!

meh.. if the boy were a USC everybody would be extradite them now! but since hte kid is an illegal. noone gives a sh!t about him, cuz probly he's lying, he's just in it for the greencard, and all illegals are gonna follow him

Um, the point is - he is not legal here in America. She will be prosecuted, as she is the USC/adult - not him.

i also agree with hermano pedroh.. i do not think the child lied or was put up by his folks..the fact is she took him to mexico and not just for a trip to the beach....

For the record, I am not calling this kid a liar.....obviously they are having sex.

But cmon, 'accuse a USC of something, and get LPR for your whole family'

Don't we already have that for battered women?

He knew fully what he was doing - it was not under duress!!!!

Fernando Rodriguez called his mother early Saturday and sent a text message to his brother, saying he was OK, police said. Police said he also called his aunt to ask whether a visa or passport was necessary to travel to Mexico with Peterson.

The U visa was created by the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Prevention Act, enacted in October 2000. It is available to noncitizens who 1) have suffered substantial physical or mental abuse resulting from a wide range of criminal activity, and 2) have been helpful, are being helpful or are likely to be helpful with the investigation or prosecution of the crime. The U visa provides eligible immigrants with authorized stay in the United States and employment authorization.

Not exactly a "catch all" is it?

He is underage, legally incapable of providing consent.

Unless her name was Maribel instead of Mary. Then she'd have deserved it.

Dev, shouting loudly doesn't make what you say true. The woman was in a position of power over the boy and the law is quite clear that a boy of 13 isn't capable of the rationale to understand the meaning of this type of relationship.

Either you accept that precept, or you don't, in all cases.

Are you saying that in your opinion a 13 year old boy is capable of making these kinds of decisions so that the law is wrong? Or, are you saying that some 13 year old boys are making these kind of decisions so the law should be changed to accommodate these cases? (bearing in mind, that if you did fudge the law in this way, it would make the prosecution of any adult having sex with a child extremely difficult)

The law is quite clear, if you are under age, you can't make these decisions, period.

Yes, that is true. Even if it was the child's choice, the law says he is not yet legally capable of providing such consent. Under Nebraska law, 17 is the legal age of sexual consent.

I agree that there is abuse on the part of the teacher because of the child's age. However, I am not sure I feel comfortable about granting LPR status on the basis of this abuse.

lol...you are correct

good point and in most states even with consenting adults a person in a position of power can be arrested for this offense./...

example..a therapist and a patient......teacher and an 18 year old student etc.
