Even if it was before the birth...adults typically say "the baby", not "it". I think it shows his maturity regardless.

Hey, no shit, heh. He's 13!

Why couldn't they do the responsible thing - send the girl off to a another country for the pregnancy, then raise the daughter as her sister?

I mean, doesn't anyone believe in traditional values anymore?

the baby probably IS her sister, that kid hasn't even hit puberty he's just a patsy for their dirty family secrets.

Originally posted by FunkyCrew why am I not surprised? age of consent is 13 in Britain freaking disturbing

Ya, because the entire extra YEAR we get here in Canada makes ALL the difference, lol!

Have they raised age of consent to 16 yet?

Are they going up in Britain? The fact that it made front-page is probably BECAUSE it happens so very rarely... The comment about age of consent is either a moot point and has nothing to do with any raise/decline in teen-pregnancy rates, or, there's a significant difference between 13 and 14 year olds, and their likely-hood to engage in responsible sex habits

nope, it's just rarely reaches us - teen pregnancies are actually fairly high in both UK and US, not sure which one is on the first place - UK has the highest rate in Western Europe

Age of consent:

USA = 18
Britain = 13

Both have high pregnancy rates among teens. So it doesn't have anything to do with the age of consent That was my only point.
