The case has sparked outrage and protest. It's also given parents an opportunity to talk about physical boundaries and moral responsibility with their kids.

Earlier this month, Brock Turner, a former student at Stanford University, was sentenced for the sexual assault of an unconscious woman.

A judge gave him six months, even though his convictions earned him a potential sentence of up to 14 years in prison.

That decision has sparked outrage and protest. It's also given parents an opportunity to have a very frank discussion about physical boundaries and moral responsibility with their kids.

But how do you do that? How much can you share and in what way?
