Insult and degrade people for making their own choices. That's real big of you. These girls aren't ruining anyone's lives. They've made certain decisions, and if they get the kind of support that any of us can reasonably expect (and it looks like they will get far more than that, based on the size of the group they've assembled) they will do just fine. I said earlier: "In their case, it seems that society is trying to force them into seclusion by ostracizing, insulting, and degrading them. " Looks like I was right. You make me sick. I was having an absolutely pleasant day, and now, after reading your comment, I want to vomit. A PENAL COLONY? Go piss up a rope. hddshawn:

Last time I checked there are laws against children their age working too many hours so how are they going to be responsible for their children? It may be a little known fact to teenagers and children, but raising a child is a financial nightmare for everyone except the wealthy. These children should be sent to a penal colony! They have destroyed their parents lifes, the "Fathers" lifes,(the physical act doesn't change the fact that they were just sperm donors) the schools reputation, the communities reputation and the list just keeps getting bigger every time you try to find an excuse to explain why these teens did this. Please for the love of .... don't try to find a complicated reason for why this happened. Occam's Razor fits this situation perfectly. Why these girls are pregnant is because they wanted to be pregnant. They have made a totally selfish, self centered, and hubristic decision and they can at least pay the price of being ridiculed as fools. I feel sorry for everybody but them.

What a disturbing story. They should be forced to watch Baby Borrowers. That would scare them straight. Glad I don't live in Mass., you all will feel it in your pocket books to pay the welfare checks for these girls. Ughhh. What a disturbing story. They should be forced to watch Baby Borrowers.

They aren't "children", they are young adults. It seems to me that they are going about it with a fair amount of maturity. They have developed a very large support network - one that is far larger than any I have ever had, and I'm raising 3 kids. Some have called this a cult - this isn't entirely inaccurate, but it doesn't seem to be all that fair of a description either. In their case, it seems that society is trying to force them into seclusion by ostracizing, insulting, and degrading them. Who is to say that these women can't raise their children in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment? The kids won't ever be lonely, that's for sure. These are 16 and 17 year-old women.

Most of these girls will not be able to raise these children and a logical solution for them could be adoption. However, I would hate to tell them how the child was conceived.
