Kaitlyn Hunt's parents lied

[magical thyme]

64. agreed, exactly.

"I don't want to see Kaitlyn Hunt prosecuted but her parents aren't doing her any favors." Frankly I'm surprised that their lawyer is allowing this.

They also aren't helping when they claim her parents turned Kaitlyn in because they are homophobic.

The fact is that by Florida law, any person who suspects sexual abuse of a child is required to notify authorities, or face a 3rd degree felony charges. Per attached document:

"In 2012, House Bill 1355 was passed into law and shall be referred to as "Protection of 
Vulnerable Persons" Ch. 2012‐155 of the Laws of Florida....The bill also 
requires any person to report known or reasonably suspected sexual abuse of a child by 
any person.  The bill requires the central abuse hotline to accept any call reporting child 
abuse, abandonment, or neglect by someone other than a caregiver and to forward the 
concern to the appropriate sheriff’s office for further investigation.   The bill also states 
that  the knowledge and willful failure of a person, who is required to report known or 
suspected child abuse, abandonment, or neglect is elevated from a first degree 
misdemeanor to a third degree felony."
