Fucking kids!

What do you do when your 13 year old child has a baby? Do you call the police? The social services? Or do you get Max Clifford on speed dial and secure a video diary exclusive with the Sun newspaper?

What do you do when the said child has a squad of boys claiming to have bedded her under your roof? Do you launch an investigation into your daughter’s obvious low self esteem issues, reconsider your parenting skills or do you speak exclusively to your agent and organise a very public DNA test?

Why isn’t anyone absolutely horrified by the press for paying these families for their sad pathetic story?
Baby faced Alfie Patten (who is about 12 years old but looks like is seven years old at a push) and Chantelle Steadman are gaining column inches a plenty when in fact they should have a team of social workers and child protection people on the case instead of glorifying this disturbing under age sex case and leaving it open for more kids to copycat it. Having a baby underage should not catapult you into a national celebrity.

In this world of wannabe- famous-now climate, it won’t be long before another wee girl gets herself knocked up with high hopes of a newspaper/magazine exclusive pay out.
Shell-suited parents are basically dragging their pregnant kids and selling them to London hacks, very Dickensian! Bare footed babes hawking their stories for Nintendo DS games and some shiny shoes.

There will be chavvy, spam sucking social housing scum everywhere encouraging their baby kids to procreate for a full page spread in Heat magazine. Oh! Maybe Posh Spice will design skinny jeans for them when their flabby twelve year old tummies lose the stretch marks?

Maybe she too will get big photo’s of her plastered over the front pages with her under age boyfriend, they might even get invited to the Jeremy Kyle show, get an overnight stay in a Travelodge and maybe be given loads of free stuff?

They will be terribly bewildered when they soon realise they can’t raise the cash to pay for a bib as the Nation will be bored with that story and life has moved on. One underage baby story a year is plenty for people to gawp at.

You only have to look at Karen Matthews and her scam to kidnap her own kid for donated cash to realise that there are dim witted fame seeking folk who go to extreme lengths to gain notoriety and big bucks. Matthews was an adult, so imagine all the teenagers watching the TV and reading the papers who could easily believe they too can jump on the teen baby bandwagon.

There should be a press black out to protect these innocent misguided kids and their stupid parents need nailed to the sofa and asked if they can understand the words ‘supervision and due care’ Where are these people when two kids are banging each other at teatime in the single rooms of these council homes?

Having sex too young can increase your chances of cervical cancer, there are many health issues surrounding childbirth too young, yet none of that is mentioned any where in the news bites.

The other point that disturbs me is that the public acceptance of very young girls having sex and publicly declaring it – it is one step away from confirming the paedophiles excuse that ‘under age girls need screwed and love it’.

Girls under sixteen years of age shouldn’t be having sex, its illegal, wrong and damaging.

Let’s educate our vulnerable kids and stop wiping their wee faces and shoving them in front of a camera to talk about their sex lives.
