Youngest Mum in Britain

And she comes from Scotland *headdesk* The other social issues facing Scotland are summed up in the article (such as the higher use of smoking and alcohol abuse) but now we have the tag of having the youngest mother at the age of 11!

Story from the BBC website.

I heard this on the radio...its revolting.

I was just reading this... although if it makes you feel any better she's not quite the youngest mother - there was an 11-year-old in west London who had a baby earlier this month (and the BBC should have remembered this because they had a story on it only two days ago!)

Holy shit, I heard this last night but assumed it was an abuse thing. I'm not sure if this is better or worse.

(it's still kind of an abuse thing but you know what i mean)

The girl added: "I think I'll be able to cope as I've had lots of practice looking after my brothers

Surely she would have begun that sentence with "YeahbutnobutnobutyeahbutyeahbutnobutSHURRRRUURRRP!!!"
