Re: 11 year old girl pregnant!

Girls bodies can quite easily cope with pregnancy at that age - it was, remember, a very common age for girls to start a family: as soon as their periods began, they were eligible for marriage and child-bearing. It's our attitudes that have changed.

My sympathies, for now, lie with the young girl. I hope the authorities sort out why she felt she needed to have sex at such a young age - is there something lacking in her home life (goes without saying I suppose). I'd be tempted to charge the girls parents with neglect.

To be fair the mother said she was proud of her daughter for keeping the baby not for being pregnant.

The 15 year old father will now be on the sex offenders register - great start to his life too.

There is nothing nice about this story it is a tragedy all round, not an occasion for holier than thou... ask not for whom the bell tolls...

Or, as our Prime Minister would say, "Shit happens."

On the bright side the girl or her child could grow up to be the financial genius getting Britain out of the financial morass it is currently enmired in. Who can tell?

Absolutely right b~v and if the truth is know our present day youngsters although able in body are imo less mature in mind as this is not the 'norm' as it was then.

She may not have 'felt the need' to have sex (remember the boy has been charged with rape)

Of course the only information we have are media reports and who knows if the picture they paint is an accurate one.

Very true. I remember reading an article a few years ago about deferred adulthood and watching the antics that some 20+ year olds get up to, I think the prediction has come true.

I could be wrong but I thought that any male having sex with a child, it is automatically deemed as rape?

But he could say she consented and told him she was 16, then it's his word against hers.

I did read that the 15 year old boy has been charged with rape.
