yes year ago it was common but was it right

do you think we should be jumping to conclusions about fathers and so on? If she's in a village in the middle of Argentina, away from 'civilisation' a bit, more tribal/traditional than other areas - who are we to judge?

Yes maybe there should be more info about contraception (again though, being roman catholic they may not want that), no I don't think it's good for her or necessarily the kids, but sometimes this happens! Who are we to judge? Are we all perfect? I very much doubt it...

Here in Plymouth we had an 11 year old get pregnant - now THAT is way too young!!!

well me tribal or? tradional or catholic it should be looked at if it was my daughter i would be asking her qustions

Years ago it might have been common but she wouldn't have got a house built for her, would she? The father(s) should be held accountable.

I agree about the house being built with her etc. But then, you could see it from another viewpoint that they probably haven't got the issues we have here with benefits, people scamming the system etc - they rally around and help their community when they need it.

I am glad some of you see where I am coming from with my thoughts, this isn't a set up as we know it I am sure. Look at some of the programmes we see on tv of how others live, a totally different way of life completely, no council housing or social security payments as we know them, probably.
Let's hope all those babies grow into a healthy and useful adulthood and that the poor girl gets a chance of a decent life too, she will certainly have her hands full for the next few years especially if the grandmother can't help so much as she gets older. I wonder what the life expectancy is in that area?
