Hey Megyn Kelly, I'm Eloise and I'm 14 years old.

I wasn't even going to say anything because the topic is an adult one.

My mom even made a video about it yesterday because we didn't feel it was an appropriate

topic for a child to speak about.

But after hearing you go on camera and explain that Epstein wasn't into 8 year olds,

just the barely legal type like 15,

I realized you might need an actual reality check from a literal child.

So let me help you out.

Megyn, people in my grade are turning 15 right now.

Some of us still have baby faces.

Some of us still have braces.

Some of us still call our parents when we're scared at night.

Some of us still look like middle schoolers because we basically are.

And the fact that a grown woman needs a teenager to explain that is honestly terrifying.

Here's the part you seem confused about.

Under federal law, anyone under 18 is a child.

No asterisk.

No, but they hit puberty.

No, older kids don't count.

Anyone under 18 is a child.

You said you were just giving facts.

But here's the real fact.

What you said wasn't factual.

It was minimizing.

It was making abuse sound like a technicality.

And Megyn, here's the part you really need to hear.

If a 14 year old has to get on the internet and explain to a grown adult with national platform

that children are children and there's no age where abuse suddenly becomes less bad,

then the problem isn't confusion.

It's corruption.

Because kids my age aren't supposed to be the ones correcting you.

We're not supposed to be the moral compass in a room full of adults who should have known better.

But here we are.

If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good.

It should.

Because the minute adults start defending predators by debating the age of a child,

you're not protecting the truth.

You're protecting the predator.

And you shouldn't need a freshman to tell you that.
