Nuckies.

This is absolutely the right answer. Children do not typically have the requisite life experience, responsibility, or self restraint to be relied upon not to fuck each other if the parents and teachers of said children do not instill a healthy fear of the consequences or at least keep an eye on the little bastards.

I became a father at the ripe old age of 16. It was a mistake that could have ruined our lives. It didn't because her parents had some semblance of intelligence and helped her through the situation. But it so easily could have. Not that I regret having created that life. Not at all.

It's complicated.

Wait, how old are you?

I'm 27. Abbey is not my first child.

None the less, I thought you were older.

I wasn't trying to be judgmental, either, I know you can tell, but these other shitheads can't.

Eh, maybe one of them will keep a journal of his/her experience as a teenage parent. Then they'll publish it, Oprah will put it on here book club, and the two will have money coming out the whazoo.

Just a possibility.

The kid doesn't even know what financial means and you think he knew what he was doing?

Oh of corse I know where the Isle of White is. After I googled it!

It's "Isle Of Wight". And it's "course".

I hear other boys are claiming fatherhood of the baby. What a fucking slag.

Do you think I give a shit?

The walls of civility are crumbling!

You fucking do if you don't want to be banned for being an obnoxious cunt.

No offense to any Ugly British chicks here, but she's the first thing I think of when I think "Ugly British chick."

She's 15. You should see the fully grown ones. Ugh.

I think these kids watched too much Juno.

But Juno was funny, this is just sad. Maybe they missed the whole message the movie was trying to convey. :(

Poor children.

Juno was trendy garbage from a garbage director that had awful, awful dialog, Micheal Cera playing that SAME FUCKING ROLE, and presenting a really stupid worldview as to how people actually react to pregnancy.

Yeah, the first thing I'd do is set up that shit in the yard too. Fucking unbelievable.


I understand if you like it, but I hate Juno with a fucking passion. My overwhelming, morbid dislike for that movie is actually beyond words.

Further proof that anything can happen with enough stupidity and roofies.

This story further fueled my rage for mass-produced media and parents who don't know how to control their children. And for children who don't even think about the ramifications about what they do.

Both of them should be beaten for putting their baby through that kind of shit.

Children don't think about consequences. It is, quite literally, proven in the biology of their developing brains.

Has it been proven that adults do think about consequences? What with the capital punishment thread and all...

The prefrontal cortex is the last region of the brain to develop, remaining immature well into adolescence. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions such as weighing the future consequences of future activities. The brain does not finish developing until about the age of 25 (I say finish, the myelination of neurons- converting grey matter to white matter- continues. White matter peaks in late middle age, grey matter in one's twenties)

But as always, whether or not you decide to use your brain once you get it all is not grounds for legal absolution.

Of course, this can be said about the father, but the mother is 15. Mature enough age to fully understand the consequences of her actions, course she could be one of those girls who just wants a baby. I really have a hatred towards people like that, not caring if they are prepared or ready, just wanting one. Like that bitch who got octoplets through test tubes and will probably use tax payer money to raise them.

As I said, she has another ten years of neurological development ahead of her. Even car insurers and credit card companies have to deal with immature brains, so long is their development. And as I said, the part of the brain that deals with consequences is the last to develop. Sure, they can understand consequences when they are spelled out for them, when they happen, even beforehand in theory. But when it comes down to the decision making process, it doesn't factor in so well. People's decisions can only ever be a function of what their brain is capable of. There is a certain amount of autonomy in the neural process.

This.

Jacob's Disease and all...

It's a bloody pandemic!

The youngest parents here in Switzerland I heard are both 13. At least, the mom knows what to do with a baby. As for the dad... well, they didn't mention him in the news now that I think about it. Guess, he ran away. :)

Cool thing about the story you got here is that the parents finally get the punishment they deserve. A kid.
Stupidly, the kid doesn't deserve them.

Man, the mom must have been very desperate to have sex with such a young teenager boy anyway. Still better than an old man having sex with a teenager girl, though. But maybe that's just me...

Desperate != stupid.

The punishment they deserve, eh? This strikes me as not being the smartest thing I've heard today. What should they be punished for? Typical childishness?

The punishment for being childish is a child... I find the symmetry pleasing, but it's not exactly an ideal solution.

Okay, I take that back then.

That 13 year old is surely the bastard child of MC Chris.

Also, jesus christ, is that broad ugly. How low does ones self esteem have to be to have sex with a 12 year old?

i must agree with this post.

-shaman

Latest rumour is that the girl's dad told her to tell the press that the 13 year old was the father, so that they could cash in on the stupid media who paid for their story.

What a wonderful father figure.

That looks shopped as hell. Which wouldn't surprise me coming from The Sun.

How the hell does that look shopped?

Such a hoodie doesn't even make sense. It's not a clothes slogan, it's a headline. Why would Alfie be going around wearing a hoodie with his own quote on it (which itself seem pretty doubtful, the way it's written) that also reminds everyone that he is Alfie Patten?

Read the title of the thread. Your answer lies there.
