HN discussion> A typical .uk domain will set you back the thick end of a hundred quid if you want it for a decade! Can I find something cheaper?

Children need to know about statutory rape, so they (a) don't ignorantly commit it / participate in it; (b) can be protected by those laws, in the event they need to seek such protection; (c) understand why those laws are there, so they don't stay in an abusive situation just because “I'll go to prison if you tell anyone!”.
