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.

AFAIK-— A 12 YEAR OLD IS NOT CONSIDERED OLD ENOUGH TO GIVE PERMISSION TO HAVE SEX TO ANY MALE.
if it wasnt for climate change this would have never happened
And that is why I did something absolutely crazy ...
I looked up the relevant Mississippi State Law ... and posted a link to it in #25. EVERYBODY who went by “gut feeling” got the legal aspect wrong. Please follow that link. Read that which is to be found there. You’ll see that, however unwise and morally reprehensible both of their behavior may have been, no crime was committed.
By the way, you’ll notice that the words “male” and “female”. are conspicuous by their absence from the relevant law. If any criminal culpability exists, it falls on the older PERSON. That person’s sex is irrelevant.
My comments presume that the 13 year old boy is the baby’s father.
You’re most welcome. There’s a wealth of information available at our fingertips, here on da interwebz thingy ... I’m happy to take advantage of it.
How do you know?
Yes. In general, it depends on the age of the older PERSON (sex is irrelevant), and sometimes on the age difference.
BTW ... I'm tired of seeing human beings referred to as "the male" or "the female". That terminology is for animals. People are men and boys, women and girls. That may seem a nitpick to you ... don't know ... but words drive attitudes; attitudes drive actions. Dehumanizing words are dangerous.
And if they are both under 16 are they both guilty of rape?
“At least they didn’t kill an innocent child.”
And the momma child experiences love of family instead of complete rejection. What’s done is done, raise those two children. Give them hope.
Thanks. See 1 (b) i
(1) The crime of statutory rape is committed when:
(a) Any person seventeen (17) years of age or older has sexual intercourse with a child who:
(i) Is at least fourteen (14) but under sixteen (16) years of age;
(ii) Is thirty-six (36) or more months younger than the person; and
(iii) Is not the person’s spouse; or
(b) A person of any age has sexual intercourse with a child who:
(i) Is under the age of fourteen (14) years; and
What happens in Kiddie Vegas, the taxpayers have to pay for for a generation.
I picked up ‘male and female’ - particularly ‘female’ - from a boyfriend in the 1980s who had served in the Navy, where he was in the habit of referring to ‘females’.
I continue to use it purposely in the age of ‘trans’.
Suck it up, dear.
Been going on 70 years. It's called the Great Society.
Apparently the father is 13. Charge them both with rape?
It's always entertaining when normies discover through stories such as this one that 'hood values are not like theirs.
Yeah, the kid is probably going to cure cancer or travel to Mars or do something useful and not be a street criminal or a welfare sponge.
Like Ben Carson?
Sometimes you just can’t help but hate what these people have turned into.
I suppose there's always that 0.000001% chance.
And you have no idea which ones those may turn out to be.
Why would she give up a perfectly good welfare recipient? Checks, checks and more checks, ya' know?
I'm certainly not for abortion by any means but you seem to be the one that doesn't get it.
Why did you leave out (1)(b)(ii)?
You know ... the part where the older party must be 24 months or more older than the younger party for the crime to occur?
(1)(b)(i) AND (1)(b)(ii) must be met for the crime to occur. It’s AND not OR.
Not guilty.
Stupid and immoral, but not criminal.
