Well you couldn't could you?

From The Argus:

Girl who had baby at 12 is expecting another

by Rob Hustwayte

A teenage mum who became pregnant when she was just 12 is expecting her second child at the age of 15.

Amy Crowhurst hit national headlines when she gave birth to Alfie at the age of 13 after having sex with a 15-year-old Gambian boy.

Two years later, she has fallen pregnant again with the same father and is due to give birth to a baby girl next year.

Amy, of Bewbush, Crawley, said: "I ran out of the room when I found out because I was so shocked. But I didn't consider an abortion."

Referring to the father, who has not been named, she added: "He's not my soul-mate but he was there for me.

"But I don't want him to be part of my life. He can see the baby if he wants but I won't marry him."

Amy was prescribed the contraceptive injection after the birth of Alfie but she still fell pregnant.

She said: "After Alfie, I thought: 'Never again.'

"I wanted to concentrate on being the best mum I could to Alfie."

Amy lives in a six-bedroom council house with her mother Rose, 45, who has nine children by two different men.

She is too young to receive her own child benefit and her mother has to claim the £10.75 weekly allowance.

Amy, who only briefly returned to schooling after becoming one of Britain's youngest mums, said: "I know what to expect.

"I didn't have ambitions, I was too young. I might go back to school but not for at least five years.

"Perhaps having children should have happened later. But things are meant to be and I'm a good mum."

Amy, formerly a pupil at Thomas Bennett Community College in Tilgate, said she became pregnant aged 12 after having sex only once.

A doctor told her she was expecting after she collapsed on a shopping trip with young friends.

Her mother Rose told The Argus when she found out: "It doesn't matter how much advice you give your children.

"In the end, it's up to them to act upon it.

"Amy is not fully developed yet and I don't think she understood the implications of what she was doing.

"She has had sex education but when someone that young is put in that situation for the first time it can be very hard."

The sex education didn't tell her much then. :D

:clap: :clap:

You always get people banging out about wasting taxpayers money but when you ask them should they just leave the baby to die, they all change their tune.

Mind you, there are probably some nutters out there who really do think that the babies should be dumped in the river - fortunately they're in a small minority.

I think you're all being very unfair.
Is her age really relevent to how good a mum she'll be ? Just because she's young, doesn't mean she's not capable of looking after two babies, and her mum will be a great help I'm sure, having had 9 children already. You can't buy that kind of experience. And so what about the benefits ? So much "importance" is placed on how much money she'll be receiving. Bringing up kids is hard work, and expensive, so she deserves every penny. She'll hardly be living in the lap of luxury, and will probably only be able to go down the pub one or twice a week tops, when she's old enough. Its her lifestyle choice, and nobody else has the right to tell her whether she's 'right or wrong' - that just boils down to opinion.

This country NEEDS young mums like Amy. She'll probably never work, which means her children will have the loving, close parental upbringing they deserve, and as a result will no doubt turn out to be thoughtful, balanced human beings in the future, and a real asset to society. I'm delighted for her.

Congratulations Amy !
