Luring or enticing a child requires which elements?

• A. Suspect older than 18
• B. Intentionally lured or enticed a child younger than 12 into a structure, dwelling, or conveyance for other than a lawful purpose
• C. The child must be older than 12
• D. The act occurred in a school

Answer: (B)

Luring a child is a crime that hinges on four key elements: the act is intentional, the target is a child under a specified age, the child is lured into a structure, dwelling, or conveyance, and the purpose is for something unlawful or for a purpose other than a lawful one. This means the person must deliberately entice the child and bring them to a place (like a home, car, or other enclosed space) with an unlawful goal. The best option fits all these elements precisely: it describes intentional luring or enticing, targets a child younger than 12, involves bringing the child into a structure, dwelling, or conveyance, and specifies the act is for something other than a lawful purpose. The other options miss one or more elements: the age target is wrong (the offender’s age isn’t what makes the crime; the child’s age under the threshold does), the required age of the child isn’t met, or the location isn't a necessary or defining factor.
