This is a classic instance of something going around to come around. I don't understand why people have affairs with kids.

Yes, I think such woman as perverts. Women should not seduce boys younger to them.

In such a situation, it is important to recognize that a public leader is subject to strict ethical and legal scrutiny. Asthildur Loa Thorsdottir reportedly resigned after her previous relationship with a 15-year-old boy was revealed when she was 22. This raises serious questions about the accountability and integrity of someone in charge of a sensitive ministry such as the Ministry of Children and Education.

From a political and social perspective, her resignation is a step to protect the institution’s honor and prevent further ethical conflicts. Others see it as justified because it involves a child and a significant age gap, which can be seen as contrary to the ethics of leadership.

She should have done better by rejecting the appointment into that ministry and asking for another portfolio knowing her history. She waited to be embarrassed before.
