what is the world coming to..

is it me or is the fact this could happen crazy.. how would you feel if you find this out with us all being parents and some of us with children close to or the age of the 2 children involved in this..

This is shocking, but I read somewhere else that something similar happened in '98
Perhaps no matter what you do or say, or how good sex ed is etc this will haappen

I don't see the big deal, go back 100 years and anything other than this was seen as unsual/weird. It is a lot better than women who have sex then have an abortion because they can't be bothered to take responsibility.

It's sad those kids have such a huge responsibility at their age, what bothers me the most is the fact they had sex in the first place.

Shouldn't a 12 yr old and I assume at the time 14yr old be out at the cinema, doing homework, going to see friends, not thinking 'lets have sex!'? But i remember what it was like at school and i know there were 12 yr olds and younger doing it to look 'cool'.

When I was pregnant with George we had to take Charlotte to the emergency dr, at an out of hrs GP. When we got there, there was a little baby crying on a young girls knee, at first I assumed that it was her sister, as we sat there longer I realised it was her mum and the young lad was the dad. Neither of them looked a day over 14 but they really looked after the baby and comforted her, had everything to hand and took in turns to sooth her. It showed up some other older parents in there who didn't seem to really be bothered and sat talking loudly on their mobile about their 'wicked' party they had last night and how pissed they got, charming!!

To be honest with you I'm really wondering if that boy actually could have fathered that child... if you listen to the video and watch, he doesn't even appear to have gone through puberty yet??? his voice is still that of a little boy I think not that of one who's crossed over to "manhood"... I wonder if the paternity will ever be questioned?

Good point

The majority of boys start producing viable sperm by the time they are ten, thats why a lot of boys start getting wet dreams at that age.

Ah, I must admit I wondered the same as Tammy but obviously it is possible

Just imagining it would probably make us all celibate for life!

Hes not the father!

theres a surprise.

Hopefully he'll learn from this and start to put summat on the end of it in future until he alot older and in a more stable position to care for a child.

who is the dad then? do they know?

My thoughts exactly

I kinda figured that was the case
