With regards to her age as was stated earlier. At the age of 16, she is not old enough to vote, buy smokes, or drink alcohol, but she is old enough to drive a car and understand right from wrong. At the age of 16, she is capable of being tried as an adult in a court of law, get a job, and even get married in some states. Quite frankly, physical age is no indication of emotion age, but we have to set boundries based on something. Mike
