So I guess when celebrities and the rich do it, it's ok? Apparently so! She admits in the video, she is 15, almost 16, and has a kid... Sounds illegal to me! And from this article, the age of consent in California, is 18.

Your 15-year-old daughter falls for 20-year-old underwear model. Do you:
a) Lose sleep at night.
b) Hope that you've raised her well, but keep a close eye on their activities.
c) Wonder why in the world the chastity belt went out of style.
d) Invite the young man to live with you.
If you were Billy Ray Cyrus, you'd choose D, or maybe even all of the above. A source alleges that daughter Miley Cyrus's new beau, Justin Gaston, is living with the family in their California home. "Billy wasn't born yesterday," says the source, "He figures the safest path to take is to keep Miley and Justin on a short leash -- and under the same roof."
Sigh. Sometimes, it amazes me how much I've changes since becoming a parent. Not that long ago, I would have said, "Sure. Whatever." But now all I can think is that if Billy Ray thinks this is the safest route, he doesn't remember being a teen.
But who knows, maybe the kid fell on hard times and needed a place to stay, which would make opening their guest room up to him temporarily perfectly appropriate. We're hardly getting the whole story, here. But if this move was simply "to keep an eye on them," I think Billy Ray needs to reconsider the message he's sending.
What do you think?
