its more of an issue of "does the current economic structure support a 19 year old couple with a kid?" the answer is no. Its almost impossible to find a job that will support that family, and that means they both get to work. and that means the kid doesnt get taken care of.
it isnt a matter of if they are mentally and spiritually prepared for this incredible journey (slight sarcasm), its just that the society isnt prepared for it, and will refuse to help. Im pissed because I dont think the child should uniwittingly be placed into such an environment.
