And now let's talk for a minute about ass whippings.
Forbes.com has an article about a ten year old girl giving birth in Spain. The girl is a Romanian immigrant and her mom (probably 15 years old herself) says that it's completely normal in their culture. The father of the baby is about thirteen years old.
My daughter is four months old and the thought that I can be locked up for manslaughter in just nine short years scares the hell out of me. I can see it now. I pick my daughter up from fourth grade when the teacher asks me to come in for a conference. I go into the office expecting a bad report card and instead the school nurse hands me a positive EPT pregnancy test. I snap and go Keanu Reeves "Matrix Reloaded" on all the prepubescent little boys in the school with a yard stick.
I didn't even know that ten year olds could get pregnant. I grew up around "hood children" but the youngest parent I knew was twelve. She got pregnant our sixth grade year. By twelfth grade she had at least four kids. Apparently someone beat her record.
