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."
$12,000/year? Bwahahaha!!! Look at those numbers again. These girls are getting paid the equivalent of $1000 a week to breed children. Yep! $52,000 per year. Ain't socialism grand!
Bump for later read
Do you see a lot of this stuff around where you are?
My husband is an accountant for subsidized housing. Girls get knocked up all the time in America. They never have to work again. All they have to do is act too dumb to work, and Social Services protects "their rights" to government checks.
My husband sees these people breeding more and more. They grow up and breed more social leeches who eventually get their own free government checks.
It drives my husband nuts, because our tax dollars are used to pay for their freeloading lifestyles - generation after generation.
Read that again. Not $1000 a MONTH, a grand a WEEK!!
I'm positive the girls are just copying the mother's fine example, and without a father figure, these girls went looking for one. Instead of a father, they got pregnant. Thanks, Mummy Dear.
Can you tell if it's $52k/yr each or $52k/yr for all three? But you're right, I messed up the conversion: it's at least $17,000+ per year per bimbo.
Because the girls have no father, I wonder how much money they saw mum getting in the mail. They learned by example.
Leeches are breeding more leeches. It just goes on and on - generation after generation. In America, we call them Democrats.
What?! Yeah, Mary was unwed at conception, but not because of any irresponsible behavior on her part. She was a VIRGIN. And she didn't get any "welfare." Joseph took care of her, (once he learned that she was pregnant due to a miracle, and not because she'd slept with some other guy.)
Anyway, as for these three little sluts and their idiot mom...if it were up to me, I'd cut off all of their welfare benefits immediately. (The nerve, complaining that their FREE house isn't big enough!!) They'd have the choice of quitting school and getting jobs or giving up the babies for adoption. Period.
To be fare, the Queen, her Consort, and all those royal princes and princesses are costing the British taxpayers a lot more per annum than these three girls and their babies. Billions a year. And their contributions to society are not much better, especially with regard to their morals.
To start with, these girls only had a woman who gave birth to them to learn from. A real mother would've taught them self-respect and respect for what is best reserved for marriage.
At least they didn't add murder to the mix.
All they have to do is crawl up America's Large intestine and latch on and never have to work again.
Not where I am. I left the big city a while ago.

"You must have missed my post. The eldest girl has already had an abortion and two miscarriages."
I did miss that post. Well, at least she didn't kill this child.
"Stop rewarding the behavior and the behavior will stop. "
Sorry, but teens will continue to have sex, regardless of how many incentives you give them to not do so. I am in agreement that we shouldn't subsidize it, but nothing will stop kids from having sex.
Parents should be responsible for their financial support. Maybe parents would start doing their jobs.
I can't tell if it is each or all three. I checked the other thread as well and it didn't specify either.
The other story did share this little gem though, "The Centre for Policy Studies think-tank said married couples on average weekly salaries were only £1 better off than single mothers who never worked and had no contact with the father of their children. "
My wife teaches high school, she had a student that at 16 was pregnant with her 3rd child. Un $&^%$*&^%* beliivible.
That's actually not true. Before the sexual revolution of the 60s kids were not having so many children out of wedlock - a few did, but it was uncommon. The behavior is ENTIRELY CONTROLLABLE -w hat has made this "lifestyle" feasible is public subsidy of it. If these little beasts want to breed other little beasts and pay for it out of their own pockets, be my guest. Not much we can do about that. However, once we stop access to the great Public Mammary, this behavior will quickly desist and these youngsters will learn self control. IT wasn't always like this.
