Could the story about this poor little baby born to a 13 year old father and a 16 year old mother, be any worse, well yes. This case is all about boundaries, there were none and that is the problem for our society, boundaries of behaviour.
THE BOY, his parents are separated - his father has 9 children himself and is 'gobsmacked' well if he had been a proper father to his children perhaps his son would not be in this situation and his 13 daughter would also have not had a baby. Why did that first pregnancy not send up smoke signals. The father at least should have been able to say to his son... have sex = have a baby. It says a lot about the mother that this 13 year old prefers to be at his girlfriends home. Where it appears there are no rules. Why wasn't this child on the at risk register? - lack of emotional stability.
THE GIRL, One of 5 children her parents have and who are at least together but appear to be completely lacking in common sense. Allowing children to have sex on their property with their knowledge is criminal. This appears to not be a one off relationship either - so a DNA test is essential. But of course another child means more money for this family.
Can you believe that these children went to the GP by themselves. The GP suggested a pregnancy test!!!!!!!please
I was horrified yesterday when the BBC brought on a 'social worker' from the authority involved. She was intended to speak about the implications....well all I can say there is no hope if that person was the sample of the quality of social workers in place at the moment. Wet, weak ineffectual ageing hippy with ridiculous 'job speak' of the very 'liberal kind' which has become the subject of ridicule, she talked of 'support' for the families....no no no action action action.
To prosecute in this case apparently was not in the public interest, I beg to differ. It is not about 'laying blame' it is about finding the truth and getting all the parties to accept responsibility and to secure the future of this tiny baby who as far as I can see has zero chance in this world with parents and grandparents like these.
EVERY CHILD MATTERS, The Children Act 2004 made it quite clear that child safety is paramount. One of the elements, stay healthy includes sexual health. So where is the positive action from the agencies of intervention? and that is not a dirty word.
