A Mississippi woman’s Facebook post celebrating what appeared to be a baby shower for a 12-year-old relative has gone viral after the images were reposted on X, where millions of viewers reacted with shock, anger, concern, and debate over teenage pregnancy in the United States.
The April 27 post, shared by Greenwood resident Sheila Marble, showed her posing beside the young girl and a 13-year-old boy, with baby shower decorations visible in the background.
“They made me a Great Glamom,” Marble wrote.
Two days later, on April 29, the images were reposted on X.
By then, the post had reached more than 7.7 million views, turning a private family celebration into a national argument over what should or should not be publicly celebrated. A family went viral after celebrating a 12-year-old’s baby shower
n the original post, Marble is seen standing with the visibly pregnant girl, who appears to be at a baby shower decorated with blue and pink banners, balloons, and table displays.
Other photos show the girl standing beside a boy identified online as 13 years old, though there is no public confirmation from the family regarding his relationship to the pregnancy beyond the assumptions made by commenters.
On Marble’s page, the response appeared mostly positive, with people reacting to the family moment and leaving supportive comments.
That changed once the photos left Facebook.

But I know which bet I'd take.
Call it pattern recognition.
I'm starting to think I'm the ONLY one on this thread who fully "gets it".
I'm certainly not for abortion by any means
And?
Why would she give up a perfectly good welfare recipient?
Abortion in the "black community" is rampant, they have the highest (by far) abortion rate of any demographic group.
I thought it was an “or” but now see it was an “and”. My mistake.
Doesn’t ‘get’ what?
I don’t see that a child’s real value depends on an ignorant, juvenile mother’s motives.
I don’t bet on God or His plans for any of us.
👍
Aside from the subject matter being pathetic - ain’t social media wonderful?
Before social media, things like this never ever would get national exposure.
It just contributes to normalizing these sorts of things.
Exposure can do a lot of good, and social media has done good. (FR is ‘social media’, even though so many here refuse to understand that.)
But no technology is a ‘one-edged sword’.
I hope that God forgives you for saying that.
Do you guys all think my reply meant I was for abortion in this case? I’m not.
What I’m talking about “getting” is 13 yr old’s shouldn’t be in homes where they’re in danger of becoming pregnant in the first place. Those type of parents are a detriment to society and they just pass on the problem to their kids thereby perpetuating the problem of out of wedlock children to underage mothers again and again.
Your reply meant that you haven’t been paying attention and you went off half-cocked.
Try making whatever point you want without insulting people.
Great grandmothers in their 30s...?
Don’t need strings, just eliminate welfare. The federal constitution certainly doesn’t allow the gov to steal money from taxpayers at gunpoint, to give to other citizens it decides are ‘worthy’. No way, no where.
I believe their marriage rate was higher than the population as a whole and their illegitimacy rate lower than the population as a whole. They were the model families. Hard working and providers.
Deliberately destroyed - by Democrats.
So, do you think these kids should be taken from their parents?
I’ve often heard that the Black divorce rate was lower in the 1950s than the White one; not sure how accurate that is. But they certainly had greater incentive to stick together before Daddy Gov made it lucrative to split.
Another child will have to grow up in a dander zone the first time it cry’s at night.

This appears to be saying that they (the boy and girl in the photo) are the mother and father of the baby.
Yes.
I believe all of that may have been information from studies / books written by Dr. Thomas Sowell.
