16 year old girl has 7 kids,should this be allowed to happen?

Question

i've just read on yahoo news that a 16 year old Argentinian girl has just given birth to triplets,she also had triplets at age 15 and a single child aged 14, that's 7 kids at the age of 16!! The father of the kids is not interested and her mum has to work constantly to help her daughter to financially bring the kids up as the 16 year old girl does not work herself. I just cannot believe and understand how irrisponsable the mother and the 16 year old girl have been and why they've let this happen not only once but three times.Have they not heard of contraception in Argentenia? The girl is underaged for goodness sake,how the h**l is she going to cope with all those kids? I'm nearly 30 and i find it hard with two children,let alone 7! I just cant understand why parents do not educate their children on contraception and safe s*x and why children of that age are having s*x and not using protection. Is it just me,or is anyone else gob-smacked by this?

Answer 1

Its not just Catholics who are against contraception and s*x education.  All Christians promote ignorance in all matters, especially s*x.  Ignorance and fear are their stock in trade.

Most countries can't afford much in the way of child services as the USA has stolen, and is stealing, too much from them.

Answer 2

I so pleased she's not my girlfriend!....phew!!

Answer 3

argentina has a very high catholic population. nuff said.

Answer 4

I read that too I had no idea that it was from Argentina. Makes a change for it not to be in the UK I mean, most girls over here do it to get a house & because thyey are too bone idol to get a job

Answer 5

Argentinian law Law No 23746, 1989, establishes a non-seizable life pension for mothers of 7 or more children, independently of age and marital status, unless she is receiving other subsidies or she is in possess of goods, income or resources that allows the sustainment of herself and her household members.

Answer 6

no it shouldn't d**n labor

Answer 7

its crazy how more and more underaged people are having children. But 7 kids at 16 is just outrageous. Teenagers are taught about contraception in school but i guess some people are just too ignorant. At that age people are'nt going to be able to look after the kids too.

there is a difference between having kids and being able to be a good parent to that child.

Answer 8

thats crazy! couldnt child services intervene?

Answer 9

are u serious. post a link to this article i gotta read that for myself. if its true thats crazy but it could be because argentina may be a underdeveloped nation and they may not be educated as much as the bigger countries are on this subject

Answer 10

your question has just giving me a bad headache. i have a daughter now 9 months old.  wondering at what age that i'll have to talk to her about s*x and protection. sigh. probably have to start whenever she can talk and understand language. 16 years old, thats very scary thought.

Answer 11

Agree completely. The previous poster's reference to Catholicism is very potent. I lay a lot of the blame on the vendetta that religion places on birth control, etc.  Throw in the abject poverty this kid no doubt lives in.

I suppose I'll be reported for that statement, but I don't care.

Answer 12

Totally gob-smacked, hard to believe in this day and age!

Answer 13

really....that's called a PROSTITUTE

Answer 14

then the mum should have taught her daughter to say the word

NO

Answer 15

on the bright side i bet the boyfriend is happy

Answer 16

Puts us Brits to shame

Answer 17

I'm just as gobsmaked as you nanook however can this have been allowed to happen for a third time to such a young girl her mother should be ashamed of herself

Answer 18

Yes I am gob smacked at the way you wrote the story, the way it read the first time she would have only been a baby her self when she had them!But yes it is a shocking story in this day and age that young girls have so many children, she hasn't had a life of her own.
