@friscopediatrician: When I heard someone say “15 is barely legal,” I felt sick. As a parent of a teen—and someone who works every day to protect and empower adolescents—I was flabbergasted. And I’m still outraged. Let’s be honest: this isn’t just a poor choice of words. It’s a dangerous mindset. It sexualizes children. It blurs the line between consent and coercion. And it gives predators cover. What’s even more disturbing? This came from a woman who has publicly spoken about her own experiences with harassment. That makes this betrayal even more painful. Because if we—especially those with platforms—don’t draw a hard line around protecting kids, who will? Let me be crystal clear: 🛑 A 15-year-old is not “barely legal.” 🛑 A 15-year-old is not “mature for their age.” 🛑 A 15-year-old is a child. Full stop. And children deserve protection—not predation, not euphemisms, not excuses. 🗣️ Parents, here’s your call to action: ✔️ Talk to your teens about grooming. ✔️ Teach them that any adult who sexualizes them is unsafe. ✔️ Remind them: their worth is not in how “mature” they seem. ✔️ And speak up—online, at school, in your circles—when you hear language that normalizes harm. We can’t afford to stay silent. Our kids are watching. Let’s show them what it looks like to stand up for their safety. #15isachild #teenhealth #protectkids #parentsoftiktok #epsteinfiles
