14 is a child?
Only in the US.
Not that it would be true there, but you can pretend all you want.
Ummmmmmm, do you have kids of your own?
Then fly to the States and find yourself a nice 14 year old girl to date. If you survived her dad and/or her brothers and uncles, you’d be thrown in jail where you could then “date” whoever you want.
American Herritage Dictionary defines CHILD as;
“A person who has not attained maturity or the age of legal majority.”
That pretty much makes me right and you wrong, sorry.

Really?
And if it defined the color of the sky to be red would it be right too?
Legal definitions make sense in a legal context, hardly anywhere else.
Plus I am pretty sure that there is a legal distinction between children and minors, even in the US.
Plus, if I fly her over, she`s legal and her uncle Bubba can blow me…
