I disagree on baby #1. I think the woman's mother is primarily responsible for that initial bondoogle and her reaction? Kick a 12 year old out who will likely turn to the man who got her pregnant and make her situation worse. I give her a pass on #1, but the rest of it she could have corrected. By pregnany #1, she knew what caused babies and had plenty of time to have more in her 20's after getting an education. She chose instead to continue to lay down with the baby's father and then another man and produce more instead of taking the high road and improving her situation. Certainly, she was mature enough by age 28 when she picked a gang member to be the man in her life. At that point, you figure people learn from the mistakes they made, even if it was a parent who pushed them in that direction initially long before.

Actually, I kind of doubt that she was pregnant as 12 and kicked out of the house.

It doesn't sound real. The reporter heard this from somebody who wanted to make the woman seem more sympathetic and didn't check it out.

My guess is that she was pregnant at 14 or so and never got kicked out of anywhere. And then just continued to get pregnant. On social assisstance.

What is really sad about this whole situation is that see probably had sisters and each of them had multiple children and it sounds as though her SIX children are about to repeat her cycle. Then each of these six will have four or five and so on and so forth. In twenty years there will be twenty offspring from each and they will accept this life style as normal. SAD BUT TRUE.
