While I understand the need for parental/guardian consent in that case the thought of a child having a child is also disturbing...at least to me.

I find that we draw this line at 18 to be a fascinating thing. What makes her still a child? We place this very arbitrary rule in place as to when you reach the age of adulthood. It's something that I often think of when there is discussion of pedophilia, especially when it is someone who is an adult that has sex with a teenager that has gone through puberty.
But that is a tangential thing. Just thinking and typing.
