Did any of you see the 13 year old father and 15 year old mother, with their baby girl on Sky News today?

The young boy said that he would try his best to be a dad and at the same time, concentrate on his schoolwork!

At least he gets to give all his Pokemon cards and Barney DVDs to his little rugrat and not the Salvation Army

I've always thought it best to have kids young while you still have the energy to raise them, but this is taking it to extremes.

Whilst i dont condone this in the least its happened, now they have to live with the consequences. At least he's comitted to stick with her and the kid, plus when the kids 21 he'll still be young, they'll be like drinking buddys.

This is just way wrong, and they thought having an abortion was morally wrong but having sex at that age and becoming parents was ok

The mother and father is not even a proper couple, let alone even approximating maturity. Their prospects are zero.

Not long and this girl will have another child, with this boy or another one. Ughh!!

There are various shades of wrong.

Screwing at that age is quite wrong.
Killing someone because he/she is unwanted is wrong to the nth degree.

Some crazy stuff happening around the world these days

"these days" !?!!?!?!?!?

They were getting married at 10 - 12 around 50 years back, and can still get married at the age of 10 in some modern day Islamic cultures. Its only in the last couple of decades the age of consent has been pushed up... so all in all. Things are better "these days" than they were in past days.
