My confusion stemmed from a philosophical answer to a legal question.
My answers were an attempt to clarify the answer in such a way where a 15 year old poster that didn't want to visit with Mom wouldn't be able to say, "I read where I have a choice to do what I want. Lawyers and everything told me so. If you don't like it, take me to court."
That is NOT the result that we want, is it?
If it is, are we, then, going to start answering EVERY legal question with the option of choosing to act in a manner in direct conflict with the law?
