    This sixteen year old is a predator and his picture needs to be release. don't treat him as a minor he is doing grown up things,

    treat him as a grown up.
    Sadly this is becoming the new norm.
    Did the adult in this case know and not report this. I think an investigation is needed here.
    I hope this 9 year old will get some counseling. Maybe he/she should be remove from this home also.
    Just saying.
    Parents pay attention to the signs. They are there.

    My opinion.
