No, no, you've got it all wrong. See, if the mother had had an abortion, she wouldn't have had to abandon her unwanted child.

(MAJOR saracasm alert, by the way)

This is intentional. Our government does not want anyone to be self-sufficient at any age. It is your choice whether you want to do it or not.

Apart from this story, I agree. In this country, a 14 yr old cannot obtain above table employment. Unless you work for family, it is illegal. It is now illegal to drop out of school. Parents can be severely punished. I know of one family that is facing the prospect of losing their wayward girl to a group home for ditching school. She is 16. Okay, she shouldn't have ditched, but this is ridiculous.

I found out after my dad died, that he dropped out of school after 8th grade to help support the family. Of course education was much different back then (way back then-he'd be 95 if he were still alive), so he was very well educated. He took correspondence courses on everything, and did all the home repairs himself.

Btw, he drove himself and his mother from MA to CA when he was 12.

Choice no longer is an option. You will obey.

Disgusting behavior, I agree. But at least the mom did not physically harm her as that lady that drowned hers when she wanted to have a new lover.

I know Stephanie Riley and her 'toyboy lover'(I'm his friend)and though I know never to believe what you read in the newspapers this is the first time I have been witness on an attempted media character assasination on somebody I know. I'm DISGUSTED at the untrue BS thats been reported.

And...

You don't know the full story, but I do, so take my word for it if you don't mind and before you talk more about bad parenting,

Troll Does Christmas ping.

.....she returned home to find the locks changed, she had to accept that she had been abandoned. Her mother had cancelled the tenancy on the council house they had shared in the Wirral and moved in with her lover.....

I'm Speechless

Mrs Riley, 39, changed after the death of her husband. She remodelled herself, with a new hair colour and slimmer figure, and is now said to be living with her 29-year-old lover in Haydock.

I am woman, hear me roar...feminist lies are too big to ignore

Sheesh. I lost my mum when I was 32 and that was bad enough. God help this young lady, this little girl.

No you're not, you're just another loser trying to feel important. We've seen dozens of losers like you.

You wrote...

>>>You are very stupid...

I'm telling you what happened and
you come out with more crap about
something you know zilch about...

I think you are bitter because you live
in a country full of stupid, obese, gun toting
halfwits...

Change your name, because it's a bit of a misnomer
don't you think? <<<

Apparently you have realized that you "hath but a short time". What's the matter, couldn't find a deceased person to "know" on your first day? Where's your Christmas cheer? Did you eat the coal in your stocking? Or is TROP the norm in your peace-loving country?

Just when I think I read of further low despicable acts I have to read this. What in God's name is going on when a Mother abandons her child like this?
Poor kid, I reckon she is better off in the long run from such a terrible Mother. mark my word the Mother, a piece of refuse, will come crawling back one day and I hope this girl has the correct response.

Our streets are full of abandoned young teens. Momma finds a new beau who doesnt want the teen around. Or Momma doesnt want compititon. The kids live in the streets until they are picked up. The city near where I live sets groups of them up in apartments with SW oversight.

That may have been true long ago, but children in this day and age are not raised to be self-sufficient at such a young age.



I was fully self sufficient at 15. I think the country would improve if a few more were introduced to the concept at 12 to 15.
