What solutions does the Bible recommend for incidents like these?

The Hebrew word "naˈarah" means “a marriageable woman”, who was cleared for molestation....I mean "marriage" by age 12, or the onset of puberty.

Though I'm hoping this is just a group of friends, and not....well, let's just assume this is just a group of friends or possibly siblings, having a good time.

Can you two handle one story without having to troll?

You guys look like morally bankrupt individuals to everyone else who reads these posts.

I'm with you Nate, in response to this uncaring, unsympathetic, view... whatever.

So sorry to hear about this child's traumatic experience.

All I did was ask for Nate's insight into a subject about which he has demonstrated a great breadth of knowledge and a passionate interest. Your commentary reads like it's written by a 12 year old girl with Stockholm syndrome.

Sheesh.

I apologize, Mrs. Schmidt. Sometimes I forget that the Bible doesn't at all say what it means, rather means whatever the reader says.

Have a blessed evening.
