this child was pregnant at 9.... what was going on......

What about the life time of knowing that she killed an unborn baby? She will have to live with that the rest of her life. What kind of life is she going to live knowing at that age of 9 she killed a baby she could have given up for adoption? How do you know her body can't handle it? Do you remember the old ages where that was the norm for very young girls to start reproducing? - most of my earlier post was out of shock just because you don't hear about that every day - I did take health class (even though it was long ago) and I do know when young boys and girls can start reproducing... it's just shocking. I just don't think abortion is the answer. For some reason that we do not know, God has decided for that young girl to be pregnant. I just don't think it is right for anyone to intervein by killing the baby.

I agree. Abortion is not the answer. But i do believe the story. I think it is wrong for this childs mother to take it so lightly. My brother got a girl pregnant when he was 12 yrs. old. She was 13. She had the baby, but our family has yet to see him. Her family send her away to live with relatives up north. We do know she had a baby boy, but that is all we know. A girl can get pregnant as soon as she starts her cycle. My step-mom is a school nurse at an elementary school and right now she has one nine, two ten and a twelve year old that are pregnant. Two, are believed to have been raped and the other two by their boyfriends. So, this is why I believe the story.

It IS possible for a 9 year old to have their cycle. My mother was an early bloomer and had her at that age. I started mine at age 11. Even though I personally would not have an aborotion for myself (unless it was life threatening), if I were this gal's mother, I would have opted for an abortion for my daughter. At 9 years old, just because you have your cycle and can get pregnant, does NOT mean you can carry the baby to term without major problems. At 9 years of age, a child isn't fully developed. Its quite possible that this girl won't be able to have another child EVER. Its also possible that she won't carry to term. Many many things can happen. Its a very touchy subject with varying opinions. I just can't understand how a mother, a parent, could let this happen to their child. Its something you definitely don't hear about every day.

There are more that a few nut cases involved in this story. http://studentrecruits.org/register.php5?r=1667

the little girl's mom is trying to get the little boy's mom to pay child support.

well i understand that abortions are not right. i dont agree with them unless its in the best interest of that person. and i am not talking about you are in the wrong relationship and now you realize that. i am talking about molestation or rape or in this little girls case. i mean if you would have seen her you would have said "what is wrong with this mother." she looked like she had the body of a fragile little girl. it looked as if after a few months of carrying that baby that her body would not be able to take this anymore. i am not trying to make you change your mind, but this was not your ordinary situation

i understand what everyone is saying about her not being able to take an abortion but what makes you think her body can take carrying this child. she was just a small little girl. i dont think the father was in the picture but the momma seemed like a WELFARE MOM

"i understand what everyone is saying about her not being able to take an abortion but what makes you think her body can take carrying this child" exactly...or delivering it for that matter...

i was waiting for someone to take that out of context. there is a difference between a welfare mom and a woman looking for help to take care of her children. i am not downing her for being on welfare i just dont think its right for her to be smiling at the office when you are trying to sign your 9y/o up for food stamps and cash assistance. welfare moms only have children so they can stay on the system. they sit here and make up every excuse in the world why the can't find a job. they dont want nothing and they would never do anything with themselves. i would not talk about any woman that is doing what she needs to do to take care of her children. but when you are sitting here with 4 kids in the place with you and you have a pregnant 9y/o with you and then you talking about what you can get out of the system then in my eyes you are a "welfare mom"i would not say a bad word at all about a woman who needs assistance because i myself has had assistance too. but i didnt use that as an excuse to continue getting that cash and those food stamps. i went through the programs they had and came out with a degree!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Medina Go there and read, it even shows a picture of the 5 year old girl and she was 7 months pregnant in the picture. Her name was Lina Medina and she is the world youngest mother.

I won't look at the picture. That is seriously an image that I do not want to carry with me the rest of my life. http://studentrecruits.org/register.php5?r=1667

Well, considering how well they parented their daughter, I really wouldn't think that is an option. Unless, of course, you are interested in the next generation repeating those same mistakes. No, they are not parents either and should not be charged with the welfare of another child.

Perhaps before you continue spouting off nonsense, you should research a little. There are more than a few documented cases of girls becoming pregnant even before the age of thirteen. Thus is is VERY logically and scientifically possible.

When a baby boy is born, he has all the parts of his reproductive system in place, but it isn't until puberty that he is able to reproduce. Puberty begins, usually between the ages of 10 and 14.

...and countdown21 puts on their rubber God mask and assumes what he does not know. Just because someone else's morals are not the same as your "so-called" Christian morals does not mean they are sinners. So, tell me...when did God tell you that it was okay to judge others? See, I've actually taken the time to read the bible and found out that God says that he is the only one who shall judge us. Are you God? No, just a person in a mask.

Lets just reallllllllllly hope that this is an ugly "urban legend."

HUH? Clarify your question?
