In Seattle, a 13 year old can face juvenile detention for sexual assaults. If the age in CA is 14 and under, the parents could still have pushed for mandatory counseling ordered by the courts. Can you imagine a state just saying that if you are under 14, you are free to sexually assault young kids and there is nothing they can do? Be serious. Apparently, neither parent pursued justice for Sebastian and that makes me side eye both of them.

I mean, I guess. If he didn’t want to look into it himself, that was his choice.

I don't know about that specific case, but I do know of a case where the prosecuting attorney refused to prosecute a 30-year-old woman who lured underage boys to her home for sex. He said a jury would likely not find her guilty because boys are boys...
Prosecutors have a lot of leeway in what they charge, and if they don't think they can win, they don't do it.

I heard Seth say this too! I'm not sure how he could pursue something LE wouldn't I'm super curious about people's theories and experiences!! In my mind minor children are a protected cohort so Seth can't investigate individually. What recourse do parents have? And, When did Seth even learn about this SA??? TIA

SR was previously assaulted? This case just gets sadder every time I check in on it.

I had been attempting to research the topic of child on child sexual abuse since this new alleged information came to light this morning (not sure whether we have confirmation yet that the SA occurred).
I am trying to keep an open mind but still have been seeking information with regard to potential consequences for child on child SA.
Pls see below for links I have found so far that reference this.
I realize many are attorney sites (the first from California). Some are from other countries, but I still found what they had to say, from an educational standpoint, interesting. Maybe could be helpful somehow?

i think I was one of the “wow” faces simply because I failed to consider that thought. It was in no way a negative “wow.”

I made one of the “wow” faces, meaning, Wow, I hadn’t considered that, but you’ve got a point!
I know this is all purely anecdotal & my personal experience did not happen in CA, so I can't speak for what will get prosecuted in that state.
My husband & I were long time foster parents & we once had a 13 year old come to us because he had SA a 9 year old in his previous foster home. He was never prosecuted. The caseworker made us aware before we offered to take him & there were special precautions that DCF made us put in place. Cameras, etc. None of our doing, all mandated by DCF. But prosecute...they never did. So I can say it has at least happened once.

Thanks for your links! I'll check them out! As for the SA accusations Seth (father) revealed the SA on a live platform. If you haven't watched the interview I highly suggest it. I am still horrified.....I had been attempting to research the topic of child on child sexual abuse since this new alleged information came to light this morning (not sure whether we have confirmation yet that the SA occurred).

Thanks, I'm just desperately trying to think out of the box. I want Sébastien to be alive and I'm trying to visualize realistic sceneries which would promote this hope!!

Mom and step-dad leaving in the midst of everything and not communicating with dad for a long time during all of this is 
Well..... it's a very different approach than what I would expect from a parent & step-parent who greatly fear for a 15 year old's safety & whereabouts.
I really respect dad's position of staying, searching, circulating flyers, bringing awareness to the case via interviews etc.
Despite my impressions of mom & stepdad I do still wonder if some of the dad's recent scrutiny of them are 100% fair & valid or if he's putting everything under a parental microscope and is being more bothered by various things now, in retrospect, than he was 1 month, 1 year or nearly 1 decade ago?
Not trying to kick a man when he's already very down....just trying to separate justifiable worries from "normal" grievances that occur when 2 different households have differing parental opinions and where communication about it and agreed upon compromises never (seemed to have) occurred.

There’s a marked change in the way Seth is addressing the subject of his exwife, Sebastian’s mother, and her current spouse. He has been very cautious from the beginning to be mild IMO and not accusatory. He’s been careful IMO, and this is a notable change IMO. In my opinion only, he is free with details that could potentially embarrass Sebastian only at this juncture because something changed, and I hate to think what that could be moo but perhaps he’s seen evidence or indicators that his son isn’t coming back, and that’s the motivation behind this? Moo

If I'm remembering correctly, they started dating when SR was about 2.mooIMO, Seth revealed quite a bit between his interviews yesterday on new interviews with Nancy Grace, Court TV and then a late night interview with the JustinOnTikTok youtube page.
He revealed on the JustinOnTikTok that Sebastian had been SA'd by a 13 year old while living in California when Sebastian was around 7, while in Katie's care, "on her watch". He included blaming CP for this as well. Time-wise, would this not have had to be when Katie and CP first started dating? If it was a new relationship, would CP have the parental authority to say who could or could not be around Sebastian? I would think that responsibility falls to the parent, in this case, Katie, of whom Sebastian was in care, custody and control of.
Seth said he couldn't do anything about the SA because it was a 13- year old in California. (Insinuating California wouldn't do anything because of the alleged offenders age. I don't live in CA, but I'm fairly certain SOMETHING could/should/would have been done.) Was it actually reported to LE, by anyone???
Did Sebastian have age-appropriate friends at Seth's home? He has told us before that Sebastian played with his (Seth's) friends online. One adult friend of Seth's also made a statement that he played Magic the Gathering (card game) with Seth & Sebastian. Are these people "age appropriate"? Did he have any friends his own age while at Seth's?
Seth also said that when he spoke to Sebastian's physician, they didn't know anything about his SA, yet the physician said he wasn't seeing the right kind of therapist for this type of trauma. Did Seth ever schedue an appointment for Sebastian to see an appropriate therapist? He has said time and time again they shared custody. Where is his culpability on not getting him the appropriate healthcare himself if it is true that Katie did not?
He also said Katie was giving him medications that he didn't agree with. Were these medications prescribed by his physician and given in accordance thereto? We don't know specifics on what the medications were, or the reasons for being prescribed, so I don't think we even have enough information to determine if they were/were not warranted for his specific health needs.
Early on when Sebastian went missing, Seth said Katie was a good mother. What changed that he is now painting an entirely different light about her parenting skills, or lack thereof?
I also wonder, did Seth ever file with the court to try and obtain full custody? If things were as bad as they were made to be on these last 3 interviews yesterday and he did not, I would want to ask, WHY NOT?
