Today, two aggressive police officers appeared at my door informing me that a complaint was filed about my 18 year-old son having "inappropriate relations" with a 16 year-old. We live in England. I had to Google the law to prove to them this was legal. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my 17-year-old daughter has been sending and receiving videos and pictures of a sexual nature. I just had to wade through a ton of middle-aged dick pics as evidence for the police. FML
Today, I was checking into a hotel with my boyfriend. A few minutes after we get to our room, the cops show up to our door asking to see some ID from the both of us. The hotel staff had called the cops on us because they thought I was underage and he was going to molest me. I'm 21 and he is 24. FML
Today, and in the past week since became a full-time dad to my 16 year-old son, he's got caught sneaking out at night, lost his virginity, and I had to call the cops because he was caught trying to go two states over to be with said girl. I think he's trying to make me look bad. FML
Today, early in the morning, I got a knock on the door from the police. It seems my son and his friend had been caught throwing toilet paper at a neighbour's house. He's 23. FML
Today, I picked up my 17 year-old daughter after a late night movie in down town and got pulled over by a cop. He questioned us for a solicitation. I told the cop that she was my daughter but he said, "So, you're the daddy?" and laughed. Good to know that my daughter looks like a hoe and me a perv. FML
Today, the police arrived at my door, telling me my child had been caught vandalizing. A boy who looked about 15 hugged me and said, "Hey, mum." I'm only 26 years-old and had never seen this boy in my life. FML
Today, after nearly a year of being stalked, harassed and even terrorized, the police finally found out who my stalker was. It was my 19-year-old son, who thought it would be a fun prank to pull. FML
Today, someone called the police on me because one of my students was going home with me every day. The student is my son. FML
Today, I had to explain to my son why it is not okay to slap old women's butts. He's 16. FML
Today, I found out that while my mother-in-law claimed to be babysitting my son, she was actually dropping him off at an unlicensed “day care” in a shady part of town so she could go out. How did I find out? The house was raided by police. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You'd be surprised how many cops aren't familiar with laws. Smh

I wondered who filed this report, because it's a wonder they were even smart enough to write it from the start. And file a report about the cops, that's not legal of them to do.

Take down their officer numbers on their uniform and make a complaint about them, they have no right to harass you and your family like that.

Wait pedophiles are legal in England?
Bonngoo 34
The age of consent, dumbass. It's 14-18 (depending on the country)
halcyon93 16
@38 A pedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to prepubescent children. What you're thinking of is an ephebophile or hebephile: someone who's attracted to adolescents, generally between the ages of 15-19, and even then that's not what this is because they were both within that age range.

#42 is it really 14 in some places?!
Ramisme 12

You're stupid. It was a stupid joke.

Some countries in the Middle East don't have ages of consent at all.
brezzyanna 17
In Canada it used to be 12 ( now it's 12 only if they're within 4 years of each others age.)

Metooblock8 1

102, If they were doing their job, they would not need to have the law explained to them at the OP's front door

Yep, I'd definitely report this incident right away. It's frightening that the people meant to uphold the law don't know the law. Best to make sure that higher authorities are aware.

What if the couple went to miami or somethong where you have to be 18 in both parts? will they get arrested or what
junjunbun 28
Uhm, I have no clue #91, maybe?

I doubt anything would happen unless OP's girlfriend and her mom decided to charge him with rape and the girlfriend also communicated discomfort with the situation (IE she felt compelled to have sex).

Sorry OP. At least your kid wasn't having inappropriate relations with another person!

^^ What happened there?!?^^
interesting33 37
I thinkk what #3 might have meant is that since it is legal, it wasn't an inappropriate relationship.

Why is this so down voted? Last time I checked, this was a good thing...

You'd really think that it would be REQUIRED that the individuals enforcing the laws in any country would be educated regarding said laws while in the police academy, but here in America that's not the case, at least it didn't used to be. Physical agility training, yes - weapons training, yes - confrontation training, yes - actual study of the laws - no. ????

File a report. They should know the law before they harass people like that. It's good you've been home, maybe it could've gone worse if your son was alone.

Nope. The son's girlfriend did.

Umm that pun was not only horrible, but it makes no sense to boot.

It was swell of you to take the time to educate two under privileged folk on the errors of their chosen profession. You should have suggested to them that they write all these rules down someplace so if they have any future questions they can look them up.

This pretty much sums up England in a post. ?

From what i've experienced english police is actually pretty awesome and polite. Though there is always some bad ones.

If you'ré white and middle class. If you're poor and/or have dark skin, it tends to be a different experience.
