    The year is 2016; the American woman has the right to vote, the right to an education, and now has the right to fight on the front lines alongside fellow Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, or Airmen. Currently one of the major party candidates for president in the 2016 election is a woman. After all of the years women have spent fighting for equal pay, equal rights, and equal responsibility, should they be granted leniency when it comes to prison sentencing? The answer to that question can be summed up in one word, no. I will begin defending my position on this topic by starting with the Women’s rights movement, the initial meeting held in 1848 at Seneca Falls, New York.…

    I like that you brought up how the situation would change depending on the state in which you are practicing. Since it was a third party that reported the alleged relationship occurring between the 15-year-old and 21-year-old I think that there is more that needs to be taken into consideration prior to contacting Child Protective Services (CPS).

Although you always want to ensure that your client is protected, in a state such as Illinois…
