The mother of the three teenage 'baby factory' sisters has admitted she gave her blessing to her youngest daughter having sex when she was just 11. Julie Atkins's daughter Jemma, now 14, was the first to become pregnant when she was only 12. The father of her child, David Ryan, who was 14 at the time, has told how Mrs Atkins let them have sex in her home while she slept in the next bedroom. Mrs Atkins, 38, who is jobless, confessed: "I did let Jemma sleep with her boyfriend under my roof. "I can't excuse what I did to let it happen but if I had said 'No' they would have done it anyway, whether I was there or not. "I have taught my children never to do anything behind my back." Her other daughters Jade, 15 and 18-year-old Natasha, also had babies by the age of 16. Jemma gave birth to T-Jay, now 15 months, in February last year; Natasha had a girl, Amani, now six months, in November; and Jade had Lita, now five months, only weeks later. They all share a three-bedroom council house in Derby with Mrs Atkins, living off more than £31,000 in state handouts a year, including rent and childcare. One-night stand Only Amani's father - described as a 38-year-old Asian gambler - contributes to his child's care. Lita was born after a one-night stand. Last night Natasha revealed more details about her relationship with her daughter's father. "We met through a friend just over two years ago,' she said. "He lives with his parents and they want him to have an arranged marriage so he has not told them about me or Amani. "He does visit and buys her clothes. I do like him but I don't know whether I would like to be with him permanently." She added that he is visiting Pakistan at the moment. 'Clear case of crass stupidity' Mrs Atkins - who had her daughters by two men - has blamed the girls' pregnancies on sex education not being taught early enough in schools. But last night Dr Adrian Rogers, a GP and adviser to pressure group Family Focus, said her decision to let Jemma have sex at her home at 11 was a "clear case of crass stupidity". He added: "There is an argument - which originates from the so-called liberal intelligentsia - that it's better to let youngsters have sex upstairs where you know where they are than on a park bench somewhere where they could come to harm. "Surely this case shows that the biggest social challenge of what is left of Blair's Britain is to try to reinstate a culture which provides care and control for children. "This really ought to be a wake-up call to fire all those people who have given bad advice over the last 30 years that when it comes to sex it's better to be safe than to say no." Grim background Meanwhile, further details of the family's grim background emerged as Mrs Atkins claimed that Jemma and Jade's father is prevented from seeing them until they are 16 by an injunction. As the Daily Mail reported yesterday, Martin Dodd, 42, did not know he was a grandfather until he read about his daughters in newspapers this week. He blamed Mrs Atkins for their situation, saying she had set a bad example. Social services yesterday refused to comment on her claims. A spokesman said: "We cannot comment on individual cases." Sheila McFarlane, Teenage Pregnancy Co-ordinator for Derby, said the programme's strategy "is committed to giving young people the skills they need to resist the pressure to have sex too early". She added: "All young people, including those who are pregnant or who are young parents, can access services in the city that are professional, and young people friendly." Police have said David and Jemma, and Jade and her partner, who has not been identified, could face questioning for having unlawful intercourse under the age of consent. I let my girl have sex at 11, admits mother
I'm guessing that grandma isn't a lifelong Tory who voted for Thatcher twice.....unless she's calling into the BBC version of CSpan, that is, if you catch my drift.
The all new Sodom and Gomorrah - coming soon to a town near you!!
When you allow your 11 year old daughter to have sex in the next room I think you pretty much lose the 'blame the school' argument.
When the barbarians come to burn Rome will we be upset or relieved?
Meanwhile the public is paying the way for this human trash.
'Clear case of crass stupidity'
This woman goes way beyond the label of stupid.
Looks like they're on their way to becoming big fat welfare mommas. I wonder if they will let their kids have sex at age 4 or some reasonable age rather than having to wait until they are an ancient 11.
and the spawn of the hippies (60's - 70's) say free love, love all, ain't that special
what is it about these welfare parasites, that they always give their kids stupid names?
No, it's child abuse.
Because the bastards have plenty of time to think them up while standing by the mailbox waiting for the welfare check to arrive........
Considering the overlt generiouswelfarstate in Great Britian. I would not be surprised that thes girls and others got pregnant on purpose so they could go an the dole and continue to just sit on the lazyboy.
My God, there's one sane man left in England. Order about 50 million straitjackets, and if he gets started now he can have the entire situation under control in about ten thousand years.
Try "dysgenic".
What can you expect from a 12 year-old? Twenty years from now when T-Jay is on trial for mugging elderly ladies the jury will mutter under their breath, "he never had a chance."
"If I could turn the clock back I would definitely prefer them to not have children as their education is so important. They've all ruined their lives because they are all too young to have children."
"The house is far too small. I have to share a bedroom with Natasha and Amani which is very cramped. Hopefully we may be able to get a bigger house, but who knows?"
Mrs Atkins, who had her first child at 20, said she was astonished that her daughters had become pregnant so young. "It just doesn't seem possible," she said.
"I was so shocked when I found out about Jemma. She thought I would hit the roof and didn't tell me for seven months. I only found out when I took her to buy a new bra and as she was being measured I saw her huge bump."
Jemma said: "I didn't tell anyone because I was too scared and didn't know what to do. I only told my boyfriend, who was 14 at the time, but I didn't want to have an abortion.
"He was my first love. He was great to start with, but he's got a new girlfriend now. I was so frightened when I went into hospital to have my baby. It was so painful and I was in labour for three days."
I don't know about British law, but as we say in the USA, "15 will get you 20." So why isn't this 38 year old Pakistani in jail for child abuse and statutory rape????
