[knight steel]

Wow I really thought this would have more comments and views by now, I wonder why not?
Come on guys share your thoughts on the situation!

Mexico,
Japan called. They want their 'DAFUQ' back.

Hey man, you shouldn't judge, I know some 9 year olds that look like they might be 11!

I'm going to go cry for a bit now.



Also, for those of you wondering that such a young people can already reproduce:
Everyone develops at a different time and at different rates, so this isn't all that unusual.

I had one guy in my class that was nearing 9" by the time we graduated elementary. Showering after PE was a real downer those last couple years.

Also, it would seem that the starting age of puberty is lowering in the last few decades, especially for females.

I'm more concerned with the logistics of the situation. How does a 9 year old get time away from a guardian to actually have sex in the first place?

This is some seriously irresponsible parenting.

And sadly something that happens more and more nowadays, worldwide.
Now everyone is also treating the girl as if she has no blame, only because she's 9 years old. Ok, everyone knows, there are MANY kids around that age who think they are badass adults, and do what they do willingly even if they do not fully comprehend the extent of their actions. Kids nowadays, especially those whose parents don't look after as they should (or sadly CAN'T look after as they should) - obviously -, are not that innocent anymore.
HOWEVER, obviously, the agent was 17 years old and she was NINE, I refuse to believe he didn't know her age or something (some 14 years old can pass for 18, bringing all types of controversy in court), and even if she isn't a saint HE should have refused to engage into sex. In my opinion, this is Statutory Rape, meaning it doesn't matter if she was ok with the act or not, he's old enough to know better, meaning he took advantage of her stupidity at least, or downright raped her (which I don't think was the case).

If I had a gun on hand I'd consider just blowing my brains out after reading that and as it stands right now I just want to take as many anti-depressants as humanly possible.

Seriously, who does that? That's fucked up.

You guys are overreacting to this.
Relatively, this is fairly mild compared to to the hundreds of millions of little girls who are raped or prostituted everywhere in the world, then and now.
This girl was noticed because she succesfully gave birth.
What about all the underage girls who don't happen to be "fortunate" enough to get pregnant and thus leave physical evidence of their rape/prostitution?
What about all the underage girls who simply die during childbirth?

I'm not saying this story doesn't deserve outrage, but it seems a bit overblown and misdirected, relatively, compared to the larger picture - which unfortunately goes unnoticed in the news most of the time.

The search continues, according to authorities, for the baby's 17-year-old father, who may be criminally charged for having a sexual relationship with Dafne.

"MAY" be criminally charged? The hell?

Well, are they certain he IS the father? There certainly has been sexual abuse of a child going on, but it's best to know for sure who it was before charging anyone.

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

You know, no strong views one way or the other, but 'open to the possibility of rape'.

It was a fucking legal certainty and you know it.

*******************************

Yeah, you read that right. Let's check the magnifying glass:

[HEADING=2]Corona says the state prosecutor is "still open to the possibility of rape or child sex abuse."[/HEADING]

The level of stoicism on display there is positively British.

 

[The_Echo]

While searching this story earier today I came across this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_youngest_birth_mothers
The youngest birth mother recorded was 5 years old. this just totally shocked me.

And here I was, sitting smugly by, assuming I'd seen all the weird the world had to show me... I dunno how I feel about thaaaat.

OT: I'm more surprised by the girl having been capable of pregnancy, than the prospect of her having a relationship with a 17-year old. (Relationships between persons of large age gaps never bothers me. But when sex in on the table... [small]'skindaweirdbutaslongastheybothconsent[/small].)

 

[CrazyGirl17]

First of all: eeewww... Second: WHAT THE HELL?!?! Is that even physically possible!??!

Great, now I gotta go wash out my brain...

I think Gabe said it best.

You're not wrong. I imagine it helps that this happened in Mexico, which is safely distant and foreign enough to let people get their outrage on until they get bored with it, rather than looking at a systemic problem they are interested in seeing fixed.

Quite frankly, if you really want be a truly loving and supporting nation you should respect two romantic parnters relationship if they are both entirely consensual, no matter what they may both be.

Too bad kids can't consent to sex.

And quite frankly, if you're trying to excuse this with "we should be a loving and supportive nation", then love and support can fester and rot.
