      11 year old girl gets pregnant on night out with 15 year old boy, smokes 20 a day, and mother 34 is pround. About to become Britains youngest mother. <http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13523408,00.html[^] Thanks New Labour for funding this. Becuase she knows she can do this becuase the state will take care of all her needs giving her a house, and money etc to keep her in smokes. I think the parents should be fined. Not fit to have children if they think this is okay. People complain about imigration. I have no problem with it. Its trash like this I can't stand, and the fact I'll be paying for it with record taxes. Fucked up.

        BS. She is not even able to protect herself during a sex act, do you really believe she realizes what is the responsability of being a parent? She is 11 year old, she's an unconscious kid.

        Fer fucks sake Karl, the skank would not only have known what she could get as an unmarried single mother, she knew how to get it. This meant at 11, she knew all about having sex without a condom to get pregnant. If you think otherwise your naive.

          Someone has to take the blame - this is a girl who goes out clubbing, drinking and smoking. If she didn't know that unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy, then I'll pack up and move to France. :)

          I'm on the fence here - but I think the whole "sex sells" ethos must be having an affect on young minds. I see a *lot* of childrens TV nowadays, and am outraged when I see younf girls dressed up as tarts in order to hawk another product - little girls advertising Barbie dolls dressed in short skirts, boob tubes and wearing fucking lip-gloss. This must be taking its toll don't you think?

          Sex is natural, and a healthy activity. I would rather fear the exposure to violence.

          Not at all, I can ensure you. IMO, the main problem here is the lack of realism. Too many people believe we can still have the life our parents knew. Even if they believe the opposite, people are way too conservative.

                Uh.. no? If you buy, someone's gotta be selling. From the law "it is illegal to sell cigarettes to a person under the age of 16" it follows that "it is illegal for a person under the age of 16 to buy cigarettes". However, from the above statement, it is not possible to derive "it is illegal for a person under the age of 16 to smoke cigarettes". Is that what you meant? :~ -- 100% natural.

                  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/4764417.stm[^] It says the girl smokes 20 cigarettes a day. If she's still smoking while pregnant, then she's a fucking selfish bitch.

                  That's so screwed up. I'm sure the sex was consensual - otherwise she and her mother wouldn't be so fuckin* proud. If it was consensual, both should be prosecuted for gross negligence. * pun intended -- 100% natural. No superstitious additives.

                    No, that is incorrect. Various agencies (like charities) often use children in sting operations to get the evidence in order to charge the shop keepers with supplying tobacco products to an under 16 year old. They couldn't do that if it was illegal for children to buy (or attempt to buy) cigarettes because then they'd get done for inciting someone to break the law.

                        Hmmm. Police in many cities have undercover cops selling dope on the street in sting operations. They sell the stuff and then the officers in marked vehicles and uniforms move in and arrest the buyer. Now I KNOW it is illegal to sell narcotics/grass/etc.. but the police do it all the time.

                          That isn't permitted here because then the police officers would have to break the law in their sting operation. "The law in its great majesty permits neither the rich nor the poor to sleep under the bridges" Also, the police don't tend to go after shop keepers selling tobacco to kids. They are too busy on the easy targets like motorists. So it is usually anti-smoking groups and consumer watchdog type TV programmes that get some kids to attempt to buy cigarettes.

                            Yes, in certain schools you get a rash of young mothers, who encourage more to do the same, as they see the older ones (14-15) getting there own flats from the local government and cash to support the baby. They want to do the same. Its becuase of poor sex education in schools. The teachers are not allowed to just teach, but instead have constant interference from government. The UK has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Europe, and by teenage, I mean under age.

                            Yes. You need to be 16, and 18 for acohol, but its not enforced. :mad: The police are busy prosecuting motorists for doing 45mph in a 40mph zone. It makes more money for the chancelor. Government does not make money prosecuting kids for smoking, or make great headlines so they can get elected.

                              I know how you feel. We look like a joke in Europe, with this kind of thing. Young mothers in schools encourage more your mothers. There are like minded girls that WANT to get pregant, and boys that just want to get laid. They should prosecute the boy. 4 years at that age is huge, and should definitely know better. I've seem in a like below looks like they have. Should also be forced to make child maintenance payments when he's earning. If the child maintenence system worked there is a chance it would change the landscape, as the boys would not be so keen, or at least have protected sex. Going back to it though. A 15 year old having sex with an 11 year old is at the least taking advantage of, if not child abuse, which I think it is.

                                This is grossly unfair and reflects an extreme state of gender-bias! The boy was under-age too, so technically he was raped too. When 2 under-aged kids have sex, do they just prosecute whoever it is who's older? Or whoever it is who's male? Regards, Nish

                                There is a cut of of age of 14. It is illegal to have sex with someone who is under 16. The 14 limit used in legal cases is were you can use the defence "they looked 16". She can say "he looked 16", but he cannot use that argument with her. Anyway, one more year and he's a young man. And can work for a living. He took advantage of her. Plain an simple. 4 years difference at that age is huge.

                                  Too young and too badly brought up to have any sense or any sense of responsibility is how I would put it. It is ridiculous to be dumping all this responsibility on a child who clearly has been failed completely by her parents. There was simply no prospect of me stepping far out of line when I was 11; parental supervision and discipline made it a near impossibility.

                                  Same here. And that is exactly the problem. Personally, the 11 year old should be taken away from the parents. They are clearly not fit to be. Letting here smoke while pregnant says it all. No parental responsibility. She's damaging their grandchild and they don't care enough to stop her.

                                    11 year old girl gets pregnant on night out with 15 year old boy, smokes 20 a day, and mother 34 is pround. About to become Britains youngest mother. <http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13523408,00.html[^] Thanks New Labour for funding this. Becuase she knows she can do this becuase the state will take care of all her needs giving her a house, and money etc to keep her in smokes. I think the parents should be fined. Not fit to have children if they think this is okay. People complain about imigration. I have no problem with it. Its trash like this I can't stand, and the fact I'll be paying for it with record taxes. Fucked up.

                                    FWIW I don't think she fucked a guy because she knows the state will take care of her.

                                      No she fucked a guy, becuase in her twisted little mind, she wanted a baby like some of the older girls at school. Older still being under age.

                                          I'm naive then. I don't believe she wanted and tried to be pregnant I really believe she has no idea what being a mother means in term of responsability and consequences.
