Girl, 16, now has SEVEN children

[dbears 1]

A 16-year-old South American girl now has SEVEN children after giving birth to her second set of triplets. The girl had a son when she was 14. She had her first set of triplets - all girls - when she was 15.

Her newest arrivals are all females as well. They were born earlier than expected, but doctors say the babies and their mother are doing well.

The girl, who has been named only as Pamela, comes from the town of Leones in Cordoba, central Argentina.

I can't possibly imagine how anyone, let alone a 16-yr old, could look after 7 children as young as these are. Being a mother of 3 myself (now grown up), it was very difficult to spread my attention between them and still have time for myself.

I guess my next question would be... who's supporting these children? 16-yr olds tend to not think about such "unimportant" issues!!!

There was a post on this a few weeks ago. The mother of the girl concerned said that she was seeking additional financial help from the government to support her daughter and 7 grandchildren. This of course is a far easier option than addressing the obvious problem of a teenage girl unable to keep her legs closed. The mother should be ashamed, and the daughter locked up until she can understand that actions carry responsibilities. They both need a slap.

I couldn't have said it any better!!!! Right on!!!! I get sick and tired of young girls using children as a way of supporting themselves.

And this to knock some sense into their heads.

Let her experience her life in her own way. Some may learn from mistakes, and some may not. That's how there are rich, and the poor.

But she is affecting other people by her actions. Someone has to pay for those 7 children and it certainly won't be the mother or the grandmother. She is forcing her problems onto the wider community, and is a burden on public funds. Will this girl get pregnant again, very likely. Will she give a hoot whether or not she can afford another child, absolutely not. Why should those 7 children be the financial responsibility of everyone else? The first pregnancy may have been a mistake, the second, complete stupidity, and the third? The third is two fingers to everyone else in that country paying taxes and working hard. This girl should absolutely have a hysterectomy. She can't be trusted to practice safe sex, and society should not need to carry the burden of yet another child (or set of triplets). No more handouts.
