For the second time in two years, an Argentine teenager has given birth to female triplets, BBC News reports.
The 16-year-old, who goes only by the name of Pamela, first gave birth to triplets at the age of 15.

Congrats! I take it, however, that you’re not like this teenager; that you and your husband are able to care for your family without resorting to using other peoples’ money.
Relocate her here and let her keep going.
She will singlehandedly solve the SS demographic problem.
She may as well go for the record now...

we are self supporting - yes.
I’m going to guess that a girl who first began having sex at 13 and has had 7 children by 16 is being sexually abused and/or being severely neglected by her parents.
I would imagine in this country she would have been removed from this home a long time ago.
I have no idea what Mr. Duggar makes each year, but it is doubtful he has to pay too much with such a large exemption amount.
But, there is also the child tax CREDIT he would be eligible for, which would be somewhere around $10,200 each year.
So what is your point...are you against those exemptions?
Take into consideration that these same kids are going to be expected to uphold the social security fiasco in coming years.
In the long run I think it’ll probably come out even.
From the little I know of Mr. Duggar, he makes enough money to still send off to the gov. - and I think he has employees as well doesn’t he?
If he makes too much money, he doesn’t get the credit.
Judging by the original BBC story, "parents" (plural) may be too strong a word. This appears to be a generational problem.
I would imagine in this country she would have been removed from this home a long time ago.
Not around here! If she were in L.A., there'd be social workers stopping by twice a week to make sure she understands what welfare programs are available to her!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
ding ding ding....we have a winner.
I'm stealing that line, by the way.
Excuse the hell out of me for making a comment.
LMFAO!
around here a pregnant 14 year old spells out statutory rape.
I don’t know if a 16 yr. old would be allowed to keep 7 kids around here - especially if she herself is in an abusive situation.
it is amazing..I wasn’t attacking anyone either.
I thought you were trying to make the point that while he wasn’t receiving welfare you may have considered the exemptions and credits to be some form of handouts?
“around here a pregnant 14 year old spells out statutory rape.”
When Jesus was conceived in Mary she was 14 — wonder who would serve the court order on the Father????
America nees more families like the Duggars. Someone has to have kids to replace all the worthless yuppies who prefer materialism over maternalism.
You might want to check scripture.
I’m pretty sure she wasn’t raped, and I’m pretty sure she said to Gabriel “Let it be done unto me according to thy word”
Ah, but how would child protective services react to a 14 year old today who was married to a man in his late 30s or 40s who said the baby was not her husband’s and was conceived while she was a virgin?
Just something to ponder.
Pamela’s mother plans to ask the government for more assistance.
I am hoping the government gets the girl a chastity belt.
“Just something to ponder.”
well..I guess I don’t ponder it, because we know the birth of the savior was a one-time event, so it is safe to assume that today’s pregnant 14 yr. olds are not virginal conceptions.
Today, a 14 yr. old needs parental permission to get married.
Other than that - a pregnant 14 yr. old is a minor.
Stats have shown most who get pregnant at this age are either being sexually abused in the home, or are impregnated by older adult men - statutory rapists.
I guess the point I’m trying to make here, is that while there’s alot of scorn being thrown at this girl...I’m left wondering who is taking advantage of her, and what an awful family life she must have been living up to this point.
In this country she probably would have been removed from this home.
