Imagine a 54 year old man cornholing your 16 year old son... would that be an issue?

Son or daughter it shouldn't make a difference. Cornhole, mouth or any other place should have no bearing either.

Maybe you missed the part where I said "As a parent I'm digusted that an adult of Foley's age would hit on a minor. Reagrdless of legality or ethics. I don't care that it was a male page. It goes to show that Foley has no idea of trust, appropriate behavior or being able to empathize.". But that's holding my morals to it.

Society should only hold society's morals which are reflecte din our laws. If it's legal, it's legal. If you don't like the fact that it's legal work to change the law.

Your statement was, "If the age of consent is 16 why is this an issue at all?".
I took it for face value, meaning it is not an issue with you as long as the parameters fit the legal definition. Kinda creepy... very creepy.
But, that's just me.
