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.

Umm, she is 30 and has an 18 year old daughter--you do the math. As for kicking children out, there are plenty of scumbag parents who contribute to their children's behavior and then kick them out to fend for themselves. How can you believe this girl is a scumbag, but not believe that she could have had scumbag parents? I just don't believe 12 year olds get pregnant in a vacuum, nor are they capable of caring for themselves if the person who is ensured with their care kicks them out.
Perhaps, you have never dealt with parents who kick their children out because they can't handle a problem they helped make. I have been that child. I was kicked out at 15 and went back and forth. I can relate a bit to what this kid went through, but like I said, I just don't understand why someone like this doesn't at some point, as they mature, say I want something different, I'm sickof pining for the parental love I will never get and will never find in someone else.
I think to make this woman out as some hero with everything out of her control is ludicrous, but at the other end of the spectrum it lacks much sense to say at the beginning of this affair she was wholly culpable for the direction her life was taking. IMO, at that point, HER PARENT had a choice to help get her in the right direction and rejected it. At the very least, this woman seems to have succeeded on one front her own parent didn't--her oldest is 18 and hasn't had children(she said she looked forward to being a grandparent so I assume she didn't have any yet). It's not much, but it is a start over where her life started. One can hope the 18 year old will look at this as a new lease on life and go back to school and make something of herself.

She was 30, her oldest daughter is 18. You do the math.
