"" Preteen Parents: Mother, 12
and Father, 13 Welcome 7-
Pound Baby
UK has a new set of preteen parents. A 12-
year-old girl has given birth this week to a 7-
pound baby, according to a report by the
Daily Mail . She is joined by the 13-year-old
father, making the two of them the youngest
parents in the country today.
The baby’s official birth was registered
Tuesday by the mother and the 27-year-old
grandma at the government registry in North
London. The preteen parent, whose name
could not be revealed due to legal issues, was
reportedly excited to raise the baby with the
barely-teenage father.
According to the parents of both children, the
preteen parents first met each other during
Christmas day of 2012, when the mother was
10 and the father was 12, and have been
“totally in love” with each other ever since.
The grandparents of the baby defended the
preteen parents who have been on the
receiving end of harsh criticisms from netizens
since the news of the mother giving birth to
the 7-pound baby broke out. They say that
they believe the love between the preteen
parents is genuine and that they are confident
that they will be able to raise their daughter
well.
They also described the love the preteen
mother has for the boy:
It was reported that the mother’s Grade 7
class was shocked when they learned that
their classmate had a baby. According to
them, the preteen mom had only left classes
one month prior giving birth and did not look
remotely pregnant during her stay in the
school.
Another preteen couple shared the same
situation in 2006 when Tressa Middleton, then
also 12, gave birth to a baby in Edinburgh
with her 15-year-old partner.
In 2009, Tressa’s child, who was already a
toddler, was taken away for adoption after it
was found shortly after she gave birth that her
baby was in fact a result of rape perpetrated
by her 23-year-old brother, Jake, who is
currently in prison. She also miscarried her
second child and has suffered from heavy
alcohol and drug use.
Despite the negativity they are currently
receiving from the general public, both preteen
parents are determined, thanks to their own
parents support, to raise the child in a warm
and loving household.""

This goes back to, at least in the U.S., taking away a parent's ability to whoop that ass when kids start to act like they're grown. Kids today don't have any self esteem because we teach them that they're "special" and "unique" instead of teaching then that hard work faith in God, and self reliance is what it takes to make it in this world not YOLO. We've become a society of "whatever feels right" instead of whatever IS RIGHT. It's why babies are havin' babies and stupid things like the knockout game are happening. It just pis.ses me off.

The hammer just met the nail head
