Why does the Minister specify other persons such as parents, step-parents and guardians? It is also illegal for those people to do it. If the Minister includes these categories of person, why does he not also include older brothers or sisters? He should take this issue to its logical conclusion and ensure everybody is included and the legislation is watertight. It can be done and the Minister should consider it.
