No matter where you live, perhaps the law is not the most important factor. The father might not be so understanding with the young man being with his child.

Ok well it certainly isn't in the UK, or most of Europe.
What is the legal age of consent in the US then?
*EDIT seems that most states it is in fact 16, perfectly acceptable.
Again, I think the parents of the younger person of either sex in this situation have got to accept the wishes of their child. It is perfectly within 'normal' boundaries.

I believe over half the states in the US have an age of consent of 16.

It varies from state to state over here. Some states are at 16, some at 17, and some at 18. Most people though, even though in my state the age is 16, will not have sex with anyone younger than 18.

I don't know if it's accurate, but here's a website with the US state laws:

In some areas men in their young twenties actively court 15 year old women seeking approval from the mother for marriage. They probably think we are a bunch of fools.
We need to consult the Universal Manual of Morality. Now if I can remember where I placed it....
I voted "Not sure" but really a neither vote.
Being protective of your offspring is normal, having your feelings bleed over into similar situations is normal.
You will always be territorial about your "little girl" even when she is 25 etc, the problem is you are allowing that protective instinct get the better of you.
Ask yourself this, if you had a son who was 16 and he was sleeping with a 22yo, would you have a problem with it?

Absolutely!
