A local urban school has multiple pregnancies, including a 13-year-old pregnant for the second time, and administrators perceive their greatest problem to be teen pregnancy (they've made progress against drugs and violence).

In these homes (mainly Hispanic), the teenager's moms welcome the additional babies. School administrators suspect an economic motive. That's because welfare pays for these babies.
If they'd cut out the gravy train, there'd be no incentive to have more.
The welfare money doesn't make it to the kids anyway. The parents spend it on themselves.
