Sisters give birth at 12, 14, 16
Three schoolgirl sisters have given birth aged 12, 14 and 16.
The Williams sisters, who live with their mother in a council house in Derby, feature in a BBC3 documentary called Desperate Midwives.
Natasha, the oldest, Jade and Jemma, the youngest, are reported to receive £600 a week in benefits.
Their mother Julie Atkins, 38, who said the girls were too young and had ruined their lives, blamed schools for providing poor quality sex education.
Mother defiant
Jemma was first to give birth, to T-Jay in February last year, and weeks later Jade and Natasha discovered they were pregnant.
Natasha had daughter Amani in November and Jade followed with Lita in December. The younger sisters are still at school.
Mrs Atkins told the Sunday Mercury: "I don't care what people say about me. I blame the schools - sex education for young girls should be better."
The sisters feature in the BBC3 series Desperate Midwives: The real truth about childbirth, starting from 9pm on Monday.
Episode seven follows a midwife from the Derby City hospital as she helps the family prepare for the third child.
No going back
Mrs Atkins told the Sun that she still found it difficult to believe what had happened.
"They are still little girls and now they have babies of their own," she said. "But I don't care what people say, I love my kids and I'm here to help them.
"If I could turn back the clock, I would prefer them not to have children. Their education is so important."
Two of the girls are no longer in contact with their children's fathers.
Jemma is quoted in the Sun as saying: "I only told my boyfriend David, who was 14 at the time, but I didn't want to have an abortion.
"He was my first love but now I'm gutted because he doesn't want to have anything to do with me or T-Jay."
Natasha, the oldest, Jade and Jemma, the youngest, are reported to receive £600 a week in benefits.
1000 USD in benefits? Talk about subsidizing irresponsible behavior.
Mrs Atkins told the Sunday Mercury: "I don't care what people say about me. I blame the schools - sex education for young girls should be better."
That's right. It's the school's fault that you are not able to keep you daughters under control.

No comment.
Two of the girls are no longer in contact with their children's fathers.
There's a big suprise.
I'm just happy none of them "decided" to have an abortion, that is probably more irresponsible than bringing the babies to term.

The Williams sisters aren't waiting...
Remove the Father and Big-Brother takes over.
Somewhere I read that the UK has a big problem with very young girls having babies.
Oh, and isn't it quaint how the school gets blamed. Hey mom, try a little PARENTING, YOU IDIOT!
***...I'm here to help them.***
"Well, sure..." she went on to say, "... I may not have 'been there' for them then, when they needed my help, but now, now I'm really here."
Mrs Atkins, last seen headed to the bank with her youngest daughter, was heard to say, "Oh yes, I'm really here to help them now...".
They have had this problem for a long time. The govt. subsidies are fantastic. They will pay for your apartment and give you money for food & bills. It is free ride. I used to date a man from London & his sister got preganant at 16 so she could move out & get away from the mom (the dad had left them years before). The cycle continues.

Damn, I should learn to type. Apologies for my typos!!!
Nope, nothing to do with poor parenting.
The mother is a product of life long socialist indoctrination...this is what happens when nanny-state socialism infects society.
Did you see the pic of the girls? They look so much older then their ages! (and they are all overweight)
That never happens!
"Their mother Julie Atkins, 38 ..., blamed schools for providing poor quality sex education."
Somewhere Howard and Hilly are licking their lips at the thought that the thought that American voters will become that stupid.
Dumb, dumber and dumberer.
Poor kid. That's what happens when your mother is a 12 year old and gets to name you.
Sounds to me like sex ed did what it was supposed to do: Taught the little skeezers how to do the deed. If she didn't want them screwing around, she should have kept a tighter rein on them. Sounds like a mother from the north side of a city I know only too well....
