Included both articles, but the Sun one is much more detailed.

The Sun.

BBC.

But oh dear...I mean, really!

Apparently her mother is proud of her too. Some people really do have shit for brains.

Well, she would've done well in high school biology, except she quit school. An 11 year old out partying, drinking, smoking, & having sex. Couldn't the mother (the adult one) be charged with neglect for letting the girl run wild like that?

She might as well be strangling the baby around the neck. The smoking has been and is depriving its developing brain from receiving enough oxygen, and there is a chance she'll deliver before the nine months are up, so the lungs will not be fully developed and will have to stay in one of those bubbles for a while in the hospital. The baby is going to be born with so many negatives against its potential...yet she says that she does not think the 20/day affects the pregnancy. She's just 12, so she is not expected to be smart enough, but her mother should face neglect charges.

Perhaps when she inevitably gets herself pregnant again shell know better than to smoke 20 cigarettes per day so her next baby won't have whatever flaws this one is going to have.

She don't care about the baby's health, that's not the kind of person that will even take care of her kids.

It's a joke, right? Really?

The 12-year-old's 34-year-old mom thinks it's great... and the 12-year-old doesn't want to leave her five other brothers and sisters... I think social services is missing something here.

The inability to be a fit parent does not start with the 12-year-old... it starts with the mom who's letting her smoke a pack a day, drink, and get laid.

And sorry, while the Papists have a point, the real issues are not just the sex. I wonder if this would qualify as parental abuse?

*shakes head*

My daughter's nine. I just can't imagine that world. Really.
