Default Proud of your daughter, but where is the parenting??

Reported on Radio 1, but here is a website reference: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006210699,00.html

Chain smoking 11 year old girl, gets drunk and has a one night stand with a 15 year old boy. At 12 years old she is about to give birth.

It's ok because she has lots of experience looking after her 8 month old brother!

Comment on radio, that the mother of the girl is proud of her as she has decided to keep the baby!

The girl, who is in only her first year of secondary school, lives in a council flat and began smoking when she was nine.
She still puffs up to 20 ciggies a day, despite being eight months pregnant.
Yesterday she told how she took up drinking at just ten — sometimes downing a potent cocktail of Buckfast and vodka on nights out.
Sounds like an ideal parent

She started smokinhg at nine, drinking at ten and ******* at 11.

What sort of parents does she have!went on a drunken night out in Edinborough at the age of 11 FFS!

It is disgusting, the father of her child should be arrested for child abuse for a start.
Apparently she smoked all the way through her pregnancy as well as she said it would not hurt the child - oh so worldy wise at 12 years.

The whole episode just saddens me, god help her new born child with parents and grand parents like these!

It really is time to sort the welfare state out to discourage this kind of thing. IIRC the US tried it, something like a max of 2 years payout rather than it just carrying on for life, and all of a sudden teenage pregnancy rates dropped like a stone.

Her mother, 19-year-old Sandra Slagg, said "What's the problem? Her big sister did the same thing."

What is there to be proud of? That she's produced a daughter as dumb as she is?

So that's another family that the UK taxpayer is going to have support.

I hope we can give her a nice house, as well as keep her in booze and ****!

That then begs another question or 2! I'm guessing the parents are possibly on benefits, if so, how are they affording the kids smoking habit.

Time to get tough, if you can afford to drink and or smoke then you don't need benefits, they are both luxury items not necessities.

I'm proud to admit that when I was 11 I was out playing footie, eating candy cigarettes, and drinking Cola. It would have been a big deal if you'd even given a girl a peck on the lips at the school dance.

And you know what? That's how it fu*king should be.

These kind of cases border on child abuse as far as I'm concerned!

So I assume he is now classed as a paedophile and has been placed on the sex offenders registry ?

And the daughter has been taken away from the mother by social services as she isn't fit to bring up children by paying for her alcohol and cigarette habit and encouraging her to have the child of a paedophile then ?


Yeah right

I said it before - I'll say it again.

Sterilisation is the only way forward.

**** human rights - if you aint fit to be a parent the State should sort it so you can't be a parent.

"I can give up smoking at any time, but I don’t find it affects my pregnancy”


GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRR!!!!! stuff like this really f*cks me off!

is she a qualified DR at 11years old aswell then?!?!? Smoking whilst your pregnant is probably one of the most selfish and irresponsible things you could possibly do IMO.

I think all those who have a child with no means of supporting it themselves should be given child benefits for the first year or so, then offered free child care so they can go out and actually earn some money for themselves! If they don’t find work then tough ****!

What I'd like to know is how she has a choice on the issue. She shouldn't even be getting cigarettes untill she is 16. SOMEONE is selling them to her/buying them for her? The mum, perhaps?

The girl probably "won't find that it affects her pregnancy" -which is already complicated by her age- untill she's gone through the agony of childbirth to hear the Dr's say, "I'm sorry, but there is a problem with your child". Perhaps she is too young to understand the gravity of her situation, or she's in denail to a certain extent, either way she's going to need support that I doubt she's getting.

I'm not a paternal person at all; the idea of having kids is not attractive to me, but I've been in infant special care wards and the effect of having a baby suffer from an affliction or pass away through absolutely no fault of the parents is heartbreaking enough. If girls like the above were exposed to this, I'm pretty sure they would not take any chances on their baby's health.

Oh and another thing to think about, where's the dad going to be if it all goes **** up? In fact where's he going to be if things go smoothly?

He SHOULD be in jail on a statutory rape charge, however, I expect he'll be let off as it won't be in the public interest and he'll stand by her for Ohhh a week before buggering off and leaving the tax payer to foot the bill of bringing up his kid.

"I am a ****" untill he's too old to be capable of any sexual activity again!!

Couldn't agree more!

It's unthinkable to me that an 11 year old girl was out drinking,smoking and having sex let alone actually HAVING A BABY!

She should have been made to have an abortion not praised for bloody keeping it!!!! I'd bet my life savings that she's pregnant again within a year of giving birth................just disgusting!
