Charlotte Maddox said she remembered feeling "a bit podgy" but did not know she was pregnant until she went into labour.

Classic.

She said she had no desire to see the 15-year-old father of her baby daughter.

They never let us down. :rolleyes:

Well, its not her fault. Contraceptives are so hard to come by these days.

And theres not exactly anywhere you can get information about sex and contraception from.

MR_Punk · 7 Mar 2006 at 09:17

How did she not know she was pregnant!

Tru · 7 Mar 2006 at 09:17

Sophie is a lovely name.

I think this is terrible and all down to "sex and the city". Honestly at 13 I was still climbing trees with my mates.

At 13 you're hardly thinking, if i have sex with this guy i could get pregnant. Some girl's don't start their period until they are older than 13. My boyfriend works in a school with 13/14 year olds and its mostly talk, some kids will never learn.

Reminds me of a Jam sketch
'can you have a look at this spot'
'thats not a spot your pregnant'
'no i'm not its a spot....'
'ok ok heres cream rub it on and it will go away'
'thanks, i was hoping it wasnt going to be another pink screaming thing like last time'

Well that's another girl sorted for life, no need for education now.

lol It's worse in the town from the one I live in. the jokes is a bit shall we say below the belt so I shall not post it here. But it does seem that this sort of thing is all to common and I doubt it will get any better.

Hence the "

Workhouse for her, adoption for the child.

FirebarUK · 7 Mar 2006 at 09:31

LOL

Pity these kind of things are happening

Zip · 7 Mar 2006 at 09:35

Why didnt she at least use a contraception :eek:

Why did she have sex in the first place :eek:

Being naive is not an excuse. If you can have sex you can know about the consequences.
Ive known what a condom was since i was about 11 or 12 and i even knew what a vibrator was and what it was used for

When i was 13 we had sex education at school so every one knew what most of the basic details and happenings about it all by then.
Even though i knew what i did i still never had sex and im still a virgin and proud of it

Some people just surprise me how dumb they can be :mad:

pyro · 7 Mar 2006 at 09:41

Where are the mothers is this case? Don't they look after their kids?

AJUK · 7 Mar 2006 at 09:45

She should be legally obliged to tell the authorities who the father is and then both of them should be prosecuted for underage sex. They have to leran that the law is there for a reason - to protect them from just such events.
