How Young Is Too Young

from Let's Talk About It Hosted by Derick

+1-816-207-7881 I read an anonymous listener letter from a 52-year-old widower who has daughters of his own and has traveled widely. He asks the question a lot of people dodge: how young is too young, especially when other countries allow marriage at ages that would be unthinkable in the United States. From the US legal age of marriage to the moral difference between an adult relationship and grooming, we draw a bright line around childhood and why adults have to be responsible, even when they feel lonely, wanted, or tempted. If you care about protecting children, age gap relationships done ethically, and what consent really means across cultures, hit play, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review. What should “too young” mean in a world that keeps trying to blur it? https://www.instagram.com/d6empire357 https://www.instagram.com/thaicon357 https://www.instagram.com/letstalkaboutit357
