Sisters pregnant at 12, 14 and 16. So what does their mother do? She blames the school.

Perhaps the mother should be blaming herself rather than the school. A school should be teaching sex ed to 12 year olds? Huh?

[ShadowDancer]

Words completely fail me.

I wasn't using contraception and I suppose I just thought it wouldn't happen to me.

They make you get a license before you drive a car. You have to pass a test, even.

C'mon. This is from Scrappleface, right?

This has got to be parody. If not, it's just too FReepin' pathetic to be true.

Yep, I can hear the crashing of a once dignified civilization from the contents of this article.

That pretty much jibes with my experiences over there in the 1980s, but it ain't much (if any) better here either.

The family lives rent-free in a three-bedroom council house, which they claim is too cramped. "It's really difficult to survive on what we have," she said.

I blame the schools - sex education for young girls should be better," said Julie Atkins, 38

These kids don't need any more sex education, they are doing that just fine. What they need is their mother to teach them some morals!

[GRRRRR]

The father, 38, came to see the child "from time to time", but "he's Asian and still lives with his parents, so they don't know about me or Amani". Don't they have statutory rape laws in the UK any more???

Ping.

You'd have trouble earning that kind of money running a small business in my neck of the woods.

Years ago, an old friend of mine made the observation that the single moms he knew "were in the business of having babies."

At the time in my state, there was no cross-checking of names & addresses for recipients of government benefits. That has changed, but back then, you had a baby, got what you could in your own name, then went back as Aunt, Grandmom, whatever, for new rounds of checks. It was a pretty good-paying racket while it lasted.

This is a parody, right?

Fathers? Grandfather?

A good statement on the morals of english females? Whores.

Looks more like a carefully executed business plan to me.
