Girl, 11, will be Britain's youngest mother

A girl is to become Britain's youngest mother after becoming pregnant at 11.

The girl smokes 20 cigarettes a day despite being eight months' pregnant. She conceived aged 11 when she lost her virginity to a boy of 15 on a drunken night out with friends.

The 15-year-old has since been charged with **bleep** by police, and is due to appear again at Edinburgh sheriff court on July 10.

Her 34-year-old mother, who gave birth to her youngest child eight months ago, said she was 'proud' of her daughter.

She will be 12 years and 8 months when she has the child next month. Jenny Teague, Britain's youngest mother until now, was a month older when she gave birth in 1997.

The youngster, who lives near Edinburgh, says looking after her younger brothers has prepared her for motherhood.

But the girl admits she "panics and cries" when babies are unwell and does not feel able to bathe them.

The mother-to-be, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had unprotected sex with the teenage boy, who also cannot be identified, while drunk last August.

'Excited'

She told the Sun: "I didn't think I'd get pregnant because it was my first time. But I'm really excited and looking forward to being a mum.

"I can't wait to take the baby swimming and out for walks in the pram. I think I'll be able to cope as I've had lots of practice looking after my brothers.

"I know how to feed a baby its bottle and I can change nappies. But I panic and cry if they're sick and I don't like giving them a bath because I'm a bit frightened.

"It's good to know I'll have my mum here to help me if I need her."

Of course, they are not thinking this through logically at the time, but their bodies are pushing them in that direction.

You would have to add to that the lack of knowledge they may have to the possibilities that may lay before them, if all they see for a woman is no more than having children, that's all they will aim for.

Ever since I was a child I've seen parents who didn't regard learning as important and so would allow their children to skip school for the slightest pretext.

In turn when those children became parents, they did the same thus continuing the cycle.

Many are at the bottom of the social scale less because of income and more for lack of knowledge.

Very good point.

This was written much earlier in this thread ..... "I know people will sigh and say oh here she goes again but, if God's principals were followed then this and many other unwanted pregnancy wouldn't have happened."

God's principle's??? ..... Are these the same principles that allowed him to get a married woman who was not his wife to become pregnant?

Just asking.

[cee-dee]

Isn't it about time these so-called principles were highlighted as having been dreamed up by MAN?

Totally

In general that of course doesn't make many of them any less worthy or less necessary for a civilised society.

[cee-dee]

You're absolutely right there but lets have the right attribution eh?

Sorry Stevie, what are you talking about?

Many peoples opinion I grant you but it is not just my opinion that the principles in the Bible are from a/the very real God.

Goodone Cee-dee.. man made the rules.. not some Boogyman..

Why describe him as a boogyman?

And Tommy, where do you think the rules that you live by originated from then? I take it you ar a law abiding citizen. Following the rules of not stealing, murdering, etc etc.?

[tommy.irene]

France prostitution: MPs debate ban on paying for sex

COMMENTS (10)

Police officers are seen here speaking to a prostitute (centre) and a client (left) in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris last year

The French parliament is to debate a bill which would crack down on prostitution by imposing hefty fines on anyone paying for sex.

Prostitution is legal in France but until now only soliciting and pimping were illegal.

Under the bill, those caught paying for sex would face an initial fine of 1,500 euros (£1,250; $2,030).

Critics say the measure would drive the sex trade underground in a country which has up to 40,000 prostitutes.

The actress Catherine Deneuve is one of hundreds of celebrity figures urging the government to reconsider.

It promises to be a fiery debate but one the ruling Socialists, with a large parliamentary majority, will expect to win, the BBC's Christian Fraser reports from Paris.

Didn't one of the Community Managers say that people should stick to just the one ID when posting?

[**forum-decorum**]

I do remember something like that CD, I believe it was something along the lines of don't use multiple ID's to create trouble on the boards.

If you are referring to me, then all I can say is then,  how you quoted it, doesn't really leave any allowance for human error, I myself find it very dififcult now to keep up with using my main ID for buying and selling and browsing then having to revert to my posting ID for coming on here. I know I am very clever but even I am only human and can make the odd phopah occasionally.

Code 42 it is called I think lol.

But then I have never tried to hide from any of my Id's, you peeps long term posters know who **busty** is whether golden*nugget ot forum*decorum, because I am open about it.

Also I don't believe I do cause trouble on the boards.........do I?..........

I know I may state my unliked opinions but I don't reel havock I don't think.

[spawnjohnuk]

no you dont cause trouble forum 🙂

[cee-dee]

If that's so, why was it necessary for you to use "Sugar-sew-crafty, foxymoron, pollypideon, Tigerlily, Galantposter, Dollydarling, icingmaiden, reeceyrocketsgrandma, sweethonesty, urbanangel, Forum Decorum, **lindylou**, winterswhiskeywench, the-silver-siren, just*dizzy*doris*" and all the others you cannot remember? Were they all "human error"?

[spawnjohnuk]

does it matter when no trouble is caused cd ?

[cee-dee]

"Trouble" may be in the eye of the reader, the intent is known only to the writer who gets satisfaction perhaps when judging the effect?

[spawnjohnuk]

I can't say I see it as trouble having a discussion mention god ,do you ? your right though it's in the readers eyes I suppose,fair point.

[**forum-decorum**]

CD, I have been an ebay member for very many years now and yes, those have been my Id's over those years. I have never had more the 3 or 4 at a time and they have been for different but specific selling and buying business and private accounts.

I just like changing my Id's from time to time.

Never have they been used for making trouble and as I have said, they have always been known to most at the those times to coincide with Busty. I have several times admited to an addiction to ebay.

I have never been anything other than respectful on every single one.

What I do find quite strange is that you have such a long list of them.

The human error element, is not so much having all those at any one time but accidentally posting with more than one on any one Topic.

I will point out though, I think you have missed a few CD. There is also, Innocent*Angel, Artycraftybustysinclaire, Fancy creations, lillyislacreations, Winterfold*Wench.

James of the Boards found it quite a feat me having so many lol

[*.*..lola..*.*]

CeeDee I can't abide posters who use multiple IDs to back up their own arguments etc.....

......but I'm fairly certain that in this instance, it was a genuine code 42?
