Boy Becomes Father at 13 - "I Thought It Would Be Good to Have a Baby"

honestly, this kid shouldnt even be leaglly allowed to keep this baby, by law it should be put up for adoption to find it a good home with resposible ADULTS who can take care of it. this lil kid doesnt know anything bout raisin a lil baby, both these kids shouold be put in the hall for having under age sex and the parents should get in trouble for this crap

Sadly, if he doesn't see anything wrong with it, he could become a granddad at 26.

I am 100% in favor of "the government" paying for FREE sterilization for ANYONE who would be interested

I think the boy and the girl are looking for someone to love. It is sad and frustrating to hear about such young teenagers becoming parents. The fact that neither one of them has any idea how challenging parenting will be for them troubles me as a parent, and I worry for the innocent baby they brought into this world. The parents of the teens will be responsible for the baby until the teens are legally an adult, after that, they will be on their own to care for the child in that respect. I am not sure about how the teens parents were with them, and it is NOT for me to judge. I do know that many times no matter how much we as parents, guide our children in the right direction or what we constantly tell them...when decision time comes (will they have unprotected sex or protected sex or reframe from sex) the decision remains with the child. The only thing we as parents can do is hope our years of teaching has paid off. I will certainly pray for not only the young parents, and the parents of the two teenagers, but for the newborn baby as well.

This is the height of stupidity! Where was this boy's father? It's the 'breeder' mentality that children have much too long been taught and socialized diminishing the worth if every human being. He's now an official slave like all the others who insist on 'playing house' and exposing their delicate egos mired in object total poverty! Welcome, boy...to your new 'trailer-trash' culture....you've earned it....now wallow in it....you're life is over!

A very sad commentary on society in general. As if life isn't difficult enough already we have children having children. A 13 and a 15 yr old girl and boy have absolutely no clue about being parents and furthermore they shouldn't. The kids parents/grandparents are the responsible parites and therefore should be held accountable for the child and its financial needs. Adoption might actually be the best option so the child has some chance at a good life. Obviously it has no chance whatsoever in that household.. just look at Alfie.

Seriously? Are these people for real? I really don't have much to say. I mean OMG!!!

Its OK, no problem! Obama will take care of them! (and I say that extremley tongue in cheek!!!!!)

I just feel sad for the Baby Girl and her Parents ...... They will have a long Road ahaed of them, we just can hope for the best.
I pray for all of them !!!

I fail to see why parents think it is so cute for their 12 year ols children to be dating, much less having sex and opposite sex children having sleepovers. It is not the kids fault, it is the parents who don't set limits and don't know how to say no to their kids, who need guidance and rules.

Two words... CHILD ABUSE!

ok that boy looks like 8 i dont even think he can produce sperm it looks to little and inocent, and even if he was able to have sex then he was reapte by that girl, that boy looks like he hasent even reach puberty, i know because i am actually 13

I'm 16 and in 8th grade I knew a girl who's mom had her when she was 12, meaning she got pregnant at 11. Her mom is now a stripper and has kids all over the world. She doesn't support any of them and my friend lives with her grandma. This just goes to show that having kids when your young can mess up your life and your priorities. I think it's 99.9 percent the boys fault. It was his choice to do what he did. His parents had NO CONTROL of his actions whatsoever. They can't be with him 24/7. That doesn't make them bad parents. It just means that they don't have time to be looking after him all day every day. By the age of 13 he should be able to take care of himself and make his own decisions. This all just goes to show how bad the world is getting. I'm happy that they have their baby but it shouldn't be brought up using their parents money. In my opinion, I think the mother should've had an abortion. But now that she's already had it, I think she should put it up for adoption. I think it'll have a better life in a foster home than being brought up by young kids.

Ok, so where were the PARENTS of these KIDS???? Point being, they are CHILDREN. Geesh

I was a father at age 12 and it wasn't because of poor parenting or poverty. I attended private school, my mom was a nurse and dad an insurance broker. My child is 30 years old now, has her masters degree and has a great job. There are people out there raised by both parents and hasn't faired better than my baby.

You all can judge all you want, just expose your ignorance and shallow existence. All the hateful things you say and do doesn't help, you're part of the problem.


If it wasn't because of poor parenting or poverty then what was it from? You failed to mention what it was from.Was is sheer stupidity?

I'm pretty sure that a 12 year old whose voice hasn't changed and is still only 4 feet tall is incapable of impregnating anyone. He really hasn't even hit puberty.

i had a baby at 17 and me son is just fine i dont have help with him i do it all by myself and they can do it to it will take some time to get it all right but they can do it hold your heads up high kids been there and i am fine and you will be to

Well, when you start thinking God in school and the teaching of abstinence is ridiculous --- these are the types of outcomes you will get. I would give the child up for adoption if they really love the baby. You will bless a couple who is not able to have a baby and the baby will be in better hands. I commend you for not having an abortion but think about the baby's welfare and think about others who have such a huge desire to have a baby, who can afford having one and who can give them a wonderful home. You will all come out winning.

I don't find a young boy having a child at 13 surprising.

The majority of the population of the world consists of immoral, selfish, disgusting pigs.

Obviously, mommy and daddy are two of them. Additionally, we can't always lay blame on the parents.

I'm sure he knew the consequences of unprotected sex.

And if one claims "Oh he's only 13" I promise you I can walk up to any six year old and they will tell me where babies actually come from.

Please, people. We all are part of the reason this happened: we are humans, and are regressing back to our animalistic instincts.

Kind of sad, actually.

HyperGlobalNet: You are a stuck up son of a bitch! What makes your stupid kids so useful to society?? You think that because you have a small dick that you can go around criticizing other people that have more balls than you!? You're pitiful. These poor teenagers made a mistake and are now committed to raising the baby. But they are still members of society and I would take either one of them over you, you thick-skulled moron!
