Group home director was tied up; car and credit cards stolen
AMERICAN FORK — Police are looking for three pregnant teens who they believe fled a residential group home after attacking the home's director Tuesday, and then stealing her car and credit cards. "Three of the girls, two 15-year-olds and one 16-year-old, hit the director over the head with a frying pan and then they took some electrical cords and tied her up and put a sock in her mouth and taped her mouth," said American Fork Police Sgt. Shauna Greening. The home, which provides a place to stay for struggling pregnant teens, had four teenage residents at the time of the incident. The teens accused of attacking the home's director also tied up a 17-year-old girl. The three teens — who are from California, Texas and Illinois — then stole the director's purse, checkbook, credit cards, cell phone, video camera and a 2005 Dodge Caravan with Utah license plate number 128 VTX, according to police. After the teens fled the small residential house, the director was able to free herself. "The victim was able to break free and then she went up and untied the 17-year-old female and then they contacted the police," Greening said. Police said they believe the girls have fled the state, but they will face a slew of charges when found, including "aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery, theft of a vehicle, criminal mischief and aggravated assault," Greening said.
If they don't abort their kids before they manage to get born. I'm not sure what kind of a shelter this is, but the usual reason for giving a place to live for pregant girls is that their parents refuse to give them shelter and their boyfriends and/or parents want to abort their kids.
If they get into the hands of Social Workers, they may be aborted yet, depending largely on chance or luck.

Hugs not Thugs -- that would be a great tagline, and I might use it but I'm pretty enamoured with the one I have already.
No good deed goes unpunished these days...
Great minds. I didn't even read your post. ;)
Struggling? It's not 1950.
They're probably all so awful their parents didn't want them -- and boyfriends either. So a nonprofit is born - a place where young women don't have to follow parents or societial rules in order to survive.
Short run liberal "feel good" help for the girls -- long term disaster for their lives.
"long term disaster for their lives."
Maybe getting old, but definitely getting wise... (Great comment - thanks)
I always thought girls were sugar and spice and everything nice. I guess there are ladies and there are tramps.
Not hard to guess which category these three fall under.
Why did they have these girls in a Utah facility when they were all from other states?
Because your lucky? ;) I don't know, but they'd better grow up quick if they really care about their kids.
I wonder what kind of homes these girls came from. It's all too common and only going to get worse, I'm afraid.
