Ridiculous liberal sentiment, Bromp. Looks caring, but goes nowhere near the problem.
"What possible good?" you ask.
A boy of the age of 12 knows he can be expelled from school for throwing ink pellets at the teacher, and therefore doesn't. If he knows that the consequence of taking a child to bed is the rest of his life on the sex offenders list, then he wouldn't. Children understand right from wrong; they didn't understand this was wrong.
"result of adolescent fumbling"
No. The result of penetrative sexual intercourse. And I bet they've done rather a lot of it. And I bet their parents know.
>>Similarly with putting the baby in care.
I didn't suggest that, and I would agree with you wholeheartedly. Putting a child into care is not the work of a caring society. Adoption of a child at a few days old, however, is quite a different matter.
Why do you want to deny these children - aged 12 and 13 - a childhood because they're saddled with a child of their own.
I do think the children should quite possibly be taken into care though.
And why do you want to deny the baby the opportunity of being brought up by grown ups?
