![]() 'The mother has encouraged the relationship with the boy and there is a lot of ill-feeling. 'It's her mother that everyone resents, and people are shunning her on the streets. 'Nobody really blames the girl or social workers - they are at the house almost every week and they seem to be doing the best they can for her,' she said. One said many local people blame the girl's mother for what has happened. Neighbours said the teenager had tried to hide her pregnancy for as long as possible, and now spent most of her time at home awaiting the birth She added: 'A lot of nasty rubbish is being talked about my daughter and I don't want to say anything more.' Then she slammed the door. Yesterday the girl's mother would not discuss the situation.Īsked about her daughter's predicament she replied: 'So, what am I supposed to do about it?' She might act a bit older than she is, but with already having one kid to bring up that's because she has no choice.' 'The girl never wears make-up or flashy clothes. 'He is a bit of a rogue - just one of the lads. It's a longstanding relationship, he has been going out with her for at least a year. They don't go out to pubs or clubs or anything like that. But her mum is worried about her kids being taken into care.' One of his friends said: 'They are a very quiet couple. He said of the pregnancy: 'I'm not bothered about it, it happened. The young father-to-be is believed to have been questioned by social workers and police, but not to have been arrested. He claims he will stand by her and help bring up both babies.īut for the time being at least, the family will have to rely on welfare payments. Her boyfriend is a daily visitor to her mother's semi-detached council house on the outskirts of town.Īccording to neighbours he often stays late, and is sometimes there overnight. However, the background to her second pregnancy, now in its seventh month, appears to be the more familiar one of 'illicit' teenage romance. The family had to be rehoused because of the ensuing publicity and she later claimed she had been raped by the man. The girl did not realise she was pregnant until she started giving birth on the lavatory of her family home. He was convicted of having unlawful sexual intercourse and jailed for seven years at Sheffield Crown Court, but the sentence was halved on appeal. He had fathered a child with her mother, too, which was born ten days before hers. The girl's first baby was fathered by a man of 23 who was also her mother's lover. Her own mother was just 14 when she had her, and went on to become Britain's youngest grandmother at 26. The schoolgirl's family background makes depressing reading. One neighbour on a council estate in Rotherham said: 'She is giving out the message that it's OK to keep getting pregnant and the state will just keep paying for it.' Her unborn baby's father is 17 and out of work, so the financial burden of supporting her growing family will continue to be borne by taxpayers. Not content with getting pregnant at 11 and giving birth at 12, she is now expecting her second child at the age of 14. Again, that’s probably all a lie created by a lonely lizard-brain asshat taking advantage of the Internet’s anonymity to run his mouth, but b board’s professed desire to allegedly spread illegally taken pictures is a perfect example of harassment begetting harassment a trend that, as HeForShe reminds us, all genders must unite against.The young mother lives in an area with one of the worst rates of under-age pregnancy in the country. ![]() But 4chan’s actions are an indication of why online harassment needs to be taken seriously, not taken advantage of-I’m looking at you, Internet users who’ve peeked at the leaked celebrity nudes.ĮmmaYouAreNext is undoubtedly a hoax, but regardless, the b board members behind the site say they aren’t planning to release pictures taken consensually-4chan wants to share upskirt photos they claim were taken of Watson without her permission. I was initially reluctant to write about b board’s behavior in light of #GamerGate, “ The Fappening,” and all the other high-profile online abuse that has taken place over the past few months it seemed like a shame that the ignorance of some communities might overshadow the awesome work being done by Watson and the HeForShe campaign. ![]()
