Age of consent by state
It's important to remember that just because sexual acts may be within the laws of consent for a state doesn't mean that a child is emotionally ready to engage in these acts. Teach your children the potential consequences of being sexually active before they are mature enough to handle such actions. Below are the ages of consent for each state. Pay close attention to not only the minimum age but age differences as well.
