Baby-faced boy is father at 13

[BethFromVA 5]

Could you imagine growing up and finding out you were the baby in this story? *shudder*

[plain 12]

"what are things coming to these days"

It really isn't all that surprising to me. Heck, it has really only been the last 200 years that a girl didn't get married by 15. I'm not saying that's a good thing, just that in all of the history of humans, it has been a only recent development that people don't have sex until they are a little older.

I think far more children are having sex then people want to believe....you just know for sure, when a baby pops out.

Two more boys have come forward claiming they slept with this girl about the time of conception and could be the father. Stay tuned. It's definitely getting more interesting.

You are soooo right. In other countries it is perfectly 'normal' to get married at the onset of puberty. I'm not saying I feel it's ok, because in America, people have set a legal age for this and that. But, God obviously doesn't have a problem with having babies at a young age, for he made the woman to be able to reproduce at the onset of menstruation.( he does not approve of sex outside of marriage, so please don't misunderstand what I'm saying here.) But,If these 2 'kids' were married, this would be ok with God. It is man's law that marriage is not ok until you are older. Not God's. After all, Mary had Jesus at the young age of 14.

So, based on God's law, I could have gotten married when I was 9!! If only I had known then what I know now. Shucks.

O.K. Children here in the states have babies all the time. Gimme a break. If ya'll don't realize this then you need to wake up and smell the roses. I feel for the kids, but I am glad so many boys are stepping up to the plate and saying I might be the father. They are willing to try to take responsibility. Is it right she slept around...no. But she did. She now has a baby herself. Will I call her a tramp. no. I was sexually active at a very early age. I was sexually abused and fat. I wanted love. So that is how I tried to get love. I didn't get pregnant though until I was 18. So I feel blessed about that. I don't see why this was such a big news story. Not with the teenage pregnancy rate in the states and the world. And before anyone starts to critisize me on this, it is MY OPINION! not up for debate or arguments.

Two more in addition to the eight that were in the follow-up article I posted?? :tongue2:

Good lord, woman, you just can't have a conversation without putting YOUR skewed version of religion into it, can you?

"IF... THEN." We're not talking about what if. We're talking about a TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY who may have fathered this baby in a day and time when 12-year-olds have no business becoming fathers. Nor 14-year-olds becoming mothers either.

I remember being shocked by the first article, then reading the follow up yesterday about all the other potential kid daddies. Could you imagine being the girl's parents? All these little boys are coming forward saying "Gee golly, I put my thingie in her thingie, maybe I'm the daddy!!"

:tongue2:

[babygrl1234 6]

In the case of little Maisie....Alfie you are NOT the father.

[BethFromVA 5]

Also, Patty, as far as Jesus' time and Mary being pregnant at 14, that was common because the average life expectancy wasn't much beyond the age of 40. It's all relative. If old age was 40's, then absolutely people were getting married and starting families in their teens. Today life expectancy is MUCH higher, so the expectancy of marriage and childbirth has also gone up.

Sorry, G4E, no disrespect intended. I have my own past myself. The tramp thing came about because we're talking 8-10 boys right now may have had sex with her at about the same time. I just can't get my mind around that.

No need to apologize Beth. It wasn't aimed at you exactly.

These boys all claim to have spent the night with the girl in her home, on the weekends. So seems to me, the parents had no issue with it, regardless what they say.

Never once did any of the boys say they snuck around under the bleachers, or the back seat of a car-----seems like this was not uncommon for her to have boys around.

Alfie kept a spare school uniform over there? Didn't Mom & Dad notice he spent more time with her than the brothers???

Times have changed patty. Our kids have so many more opportunities. Even the girls!!! And as has been pointed out countless times before on the other threads this always gets brought up in, the bible is an interpretation, and time/years are not necessarily viewed the same then as now. I mean how many 900 year old women do you see giving birth today???
