Girl, 12, set to have baby
Herald Sun ^ | 16th June 2009 | Gemma Jones

A 12-YEAR-OLD girl who was allowed to live with her 15-year-old boyfriend is set to become one of Australia's youngest mothers.

The girl had been sharing a bed with the father of her baby from the age of 11, after her mother allowed him to move into their home despite her father's pleas to authorities.

When her father complained to staff at the NSW Department of Community Services helpline several times, they failed to do anything about the situation.

Police said they were also unable to intervene because both children were under the age of consent. If the boy had been 18 or older, police would have immediately begun a criminal investigation.

When the girl's father had to take custody of her in March, he discovered his daughter was pregnant.

He is outraged it took the shock news his child was to be a mother for government agencies to finally take notice.

The department admitted yesterday it had failed to act earlier because staff were working on more urgent cases.

Some screwy thinking going on there.

How about, “Police said they were also unable to intervene because there was no evidence of a crime.”

One of those “enlightened, compassionate” mothers?

When dealing with my daughter’s boyfriends, I always had the threat that if they didn’t want to deal with me they would have to deal with Mrs. Chandler. That would be like dealing with a momma bear protecting her cubs.

“Even when dad gets arrested for domestic violence, it’d be worth it.”

Favorite scene from my favorite Australian Movie, “The Odd Angry Shot”:

Ausie REMF: “I’ll have you brought up on a charge!”

Ausie SAS Trooper: “Well you’d better make it murder, because I’m going to rip your F-ing head right off!”

That may be true under their laws, but in most US states BOTH children can be charged with statutory rape. This does happen in the US. How the court and prosecution proceeds varies of course.

If so, in this case it might well be the girl who would be charged since it was taking place in her home with her mother’s consent.

That 15 year old shoulda been thrown out a window, in his underwear.

You advocate accomplishing coitus interruptus by the means of fornication defenestration.

...or better yet, penetration defenestration.

Cheers!
