How sad is this. You're right, there need to be consequences, and the consequences have to be draconian....

But how sad is this....

No, June...you understand everything that successful people need to understand....I applaud you for not accepting it.

At 16 a girl knows that sex is the proximate cause of pregnancy. Unfortunately for our unborn, society's belief that people shouldnot experience the consequences of their behavior has created a world where the unprepared bear the unwanted unchallenged.

So...So sad. Not for the poarents but for the children. Every child deserves to be wanted...

Word has it she IS pregnant again. And it's been said that when she was eight years old her three month old brother was suffocated. I think they're trying to make us believe that she killed him as well. Could be.
June,
You're right about this whole living together thing being condoned by somebody. It is a parent's job to be a parent. Obviously this little girl has had one strang upbringing. I feel sorry for that poor baby that was killed but I feel sorry for this young mother as well. Nobody set any standards for this girl. What a shame.

Ladies, What's that old expression..."The Apple doesn't fall from the tree". No excuse, but only God knows what she grew up in. Her trip to Framingham may be a reunion. I hate to say this, but that poor baby may be better off.

There was a story in the Worcester Telegram this morning, written by Dianne Williamson, that explains an awful lot about this young girl's life. It really is quite sad. Apparently her mother has had mental illness issues for many years, and as an 8 year old, this young girl was left to care for her two younger brothers, one of whom was only 3 months old, while the mother was away. The 3 month old happened to die while in her care. This girl has never had any guidance! I don't know how I feel about this whole situation--I am extremely confused--I absolutely do not condone any of the behaviors taking place in the home; I am deeply saddened by this poor baby's death, and I am truly distressed by this poor young girl's sad life! If she did kill her son, she should, without a doubt, be punished to the fullest extent of the law. If she did not, and the death truly was the result of the baby's illness that he was being treated for, then, this poor girl needs something she has NEVER had--someone to show her love and compassion, and a lot of guidance!!!! If any of you get the chance, read the piece in the Worcester Telegram.

Hi, Dave,
No, I don't think you were too harsh. You were going by what you had heard. I probably would have been saying pretty much the same as you had if I hadn't read Diane Williamson's column. It could be a very strange coincidence that her baby brother really did die from sids and her own child was more ill than he was being treated for. If I am not mistaken, he was being treated for asthma, and my own personal experience with that, I can say it can be very dangerous, even deadly, if not treated properly. We also have to take inexperience and immaturity into account. And, yes, a very very sad situation.
