more Common. I know of girls as young as eleven who have these immaculate conception children. Sometimes its Children with Children and sometimes Its Children with Adults who foster this kind of Tragedy. To have the sheer will to use Scissors is just plain messed up. The Psychological Health of this Child is now compounded with a Justice System that is in Favor of Convict Leasing and not much of anything else.And her Mother who has to deal with Losing a Grandchild and possibly Losing her own Child in the Process. Maybe we should be having these kind of Reality talks with our Children instead of the Baby comes from the Cabbage Patch or if any body touches "down there" approaches to sexual behavior. Maybe some of the outcomes would be a less acceptable than having respect for your body and choosing education and reality over hormones.

I accept your if malaise Oct 2012 #6

usually you aren't supposed to get pissed about things that "could be" snooper2 Oct 2012 #24

Because, of course, it is always a man's fault. AngryAmish Oct 2012 #15

You know, that really doesn't contribute anything meaningful to the discussion. lapislzi Oct 2012 #18

To be responsible implies a choice does it not? 4th law of robotics Oct 2012 #30

For one thing, we don't have all the facts. lapislzi Oct 2012 #32

You admit to not having the facts 4th law of robotics Oct 2012 #33

I freely admit to speculating. lapislzi Oct 2012 #39

"She exercised the only, horrible, choice available" lumberjack_jeff Oct 2012 #35

Of course. lapislzi Oct 2012 #37

How in the world is that the only choice? LisaL Oct 2012 #40

Well, at 14 she would have to have someone drive her gollygee Oct 2012 #43

Leaving an infant in any public place would be better than killing him. LisaL Oct 2012 #44

An article I saw showed them in a trailer park gollygee Oct 2012 #46

Rational thinking: notably absent. lapislzi Oct 2012 #47

Actually, it is meant to refute a highly negative contribution to the discussion. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2012 #34

Would you kindly explain? n/t lapislzi Oct 2012 #48

Sure. The problem with the post upthread should be patently obvious, though. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2012 #50

Men are responsible for the reproductive decisions of women? 4th law of robotics Oct 2012 #29

Now who's speculating? lapislzi Oct 2012 #41

I'm not even sure it could be called "choice" in her position. Scootaloo Oct 2012 #54

I can understand get the red out Oct 2012 #7

Excellent, excellent post obamanut2012 Oct 2012 #10

I grew up in a similar home. lapislzi Oct 2012 #14

You are too kind! LittlestStar Oct 2012 #42

I know exactly how you felt. I felt the same... a la izquierda Oct 2012 #45

this is why i'm totally opposed to Parental Consent laws when it comes to these issues JI7 Oct 2012 #55

Me too get the red out Oct 2012 #56

Not strange at all. Teens who are isolated, ignorant about reproduction, abused or otherwise Brickbat Oct 2012 #8

You hit the nail on the head get the red out Oct 2012 #16

Are there any states where 14 is the age of consent? obamanut2012 Oct 2012 #9

She could have gotten pregnant by another 14-year-old gollygee Oct 2012 #11

I don't think many states will charge another 14 year old for statutory rape 4th law of robotics Oct 2012 #31

If the boy was younger than she, is she also guilty of statutory rape? lumberjack_jeff Oct 2012 #36

Boy doesn't have to be younger. Just has to be below age-of-consent. jeff47 Oct 2012 #58

Wow. That is an unsettling story. aikoaiko Oct 2012 #12

Well, that would make sense. lapislzi Oct 2012 #22

This child needs help, not punishment. dawg Oct 2012 #21

Damn that's sad. Teens shouldn't be ashamed or fearful of that circumstance. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #25

I can only imagine the torment this child was experiencing when she did this. Arkansas Granny Oct 2012 #49

Oh, you're talking about the older of the two. n/t lumberjack_jeff Oct 2012 #52

Yes, the fourteen-year-old likely deserves some recognition of her fear and perceived powerlessness. antigone382 Oct 2012 #57

I think the baby deserves some recognition of his *actual* powerlessness. n/t lumberjack_jeff Oct 2012 #59

I'm not disputing that at all. antigone382 Oct 2012 #61
