Girl, 11, will be Britain's youngest mother
2006-05-13
A girl is to become Britain's youngest mother after becoming pregnant at 11. The girl smokes 20 cigarettes a day despite being eight months' pregnant. She conceived aged 11 when she lost her virginity to a boy of 15 on a drunken night out with friends.
She sounds like a nice girl, from a good, solid home, doesn't she?
The 15-year-old has since been charged with rape by police, and is due to appear again at Edinburgh sheriff court on July 10.
"But, yer honor! You can't charge me! I'm just a kid!"
"Shuddup. She's more of a kid!"
"But she's a slut!"
"She's a juvenile slut!"
"Well, I'm a juvenile, too!"
"Bailiff! Hit him!"
Her 34-year-old mother, who gave birth to her youngest child eight months ago, said she was 'proud' of her daughter.
As well she should be. She's obviously raised a child with accomplishments well beyond her age, a veritable prodigy. I'm sure all the other ladies in the neighborhood wish their girls were as accomplished.
She will be 12 years and 8 months when she has the child next month. Jenny Teague, Britain's youngest mother until now, was a month older when she gave birth in 1997.
I'm sure her Mom was proud as punch, too...
The youngster, who lives near Edinburgh, says looking after her younger brothers has prepared her for motherhood. But the girl admits she "panics and cries" when babies are unwell and does not feel able to bathe them.
Then she's not prepared, is she?
The mother-to-be, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had unprotected sex with the teenage boy, who also cannot be identified, while drunk last August.
Oh. Well. That explains it, then.

#11  The child is 11. She's not a woman or even a teen.

She's not old enough legally to make the decision to have sex: this is statutory rape of a child.

Her mother is an abusive parent and should be locked up.

On the other hand, I'll say this: a teenager can get pregnant a lot more easily than a 35 year old.

Part of the reason the birth rate has dropped is we expect females to have kids at the latter end of their fertility.

Biology prepared us to start popping out kids from about 15 give or take to about 22. 30 was old in Caveman times, 40 was dead.

#10  So Gramma is happy to have a new baby in the house? Her 8 month old isn't young enough to qualify?

Third generation welfare bun on the run. If it lives, that is. But every sperm is preciouus, every life divine.

#5  Hey folks, it's unfortunate that this happened to her, but give the young lady some credit for choosing life. I'm sure the NARAL folks are pestering her to abort. I wish her well.

#1  Its situations like this that probably explains why there are so many high funciton idiots running around.

Just smart enough to breed. Not smart enough to find something more useful to do with 20 free minutes.

The truly sad part is that here in my zip code I can think of at least 9 familys(???) within 1 mile of my house that are just as bad as the bunch in the story.
