10 year old mother

This story is about a 10 year old girl in Idaho who got pregnant in 2007 at the age of 9, and gave birth to a baby girl at the age of 10. The father of her baby is apparently the boyfriend of her mother.

The reactions of the people interviewed are interesting. It seems that most people are in denial of a basic fact of biology: When a girl is capable of becoming pregnant, she is old enough to become a mother. Our society has for so long been trying to extend childhood later and later, trying to tell young adults that they are still children, trying to keep them from living as adults in an adult world; that when someone proves them wrong, they go into denial, and claim that it is wrong. Now rape is wrong, and sex outside marriage is wrong, but for a girl to have a baby at the age of 10 is not wrong in itself. A 10 year old is not a baby, she is not a little child even. I started operating heavy equipment at the age of 8, and was driving a car at 9... and girls are more mature than boys at this age. (I'm a guy, by the way.) We don't give young people enough credit for what they can do, nor do we give them opportunity enough to prove themselves.

Some people seem to believe that the girl's baby should have been killed via abortion. I am glad that did not happen, for that would have added yet another tragedy on top of what has already been done. As if she hasn't had enough done to her already, this poor girl and her baby have been put in state custody, which is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

@Wiintendoful The $50k fine is the punishment for having sex with a minor, and is appropriate for that crime. $1M for copyright violation is inappropriate, for a 14-song download a $20 fine would be just.

When someone downloads 14 songs illegaly and get's fined, they are usually fined with over 1million dollars. But when a guy rapes and impregnates a 10 year old, he only has to pay 50.000 dollars... WTF are you thinking?!

@Wiintendoful Where did you get the idea that this guy got off with paying a $50 fine?
