Singapore

This is the article http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20090214/twl-eu-britain-father-at13-c8e2916.html like His father, having 9 kids, should know how "strong" and "fertile" his clan can be no? Now i'm wondering will any of them be jailed? I mean both the boy AND girl are underaged. And are they to be married? I'm sorry, but over here, if such a thing happens, they would have to marry under special license.

It is so frustrating to hear this kind of news. This situation is always depend on how the children are nurtured and raised, maybe they are neglected, their family are too busy to mind their children, this could not happen if the parents are always there for their kids not just financially but emotionally, guiding them while growing up and telling them what things must be avoided. It is always important for the family to look after their children so as not to create damages.

thats crazy! the kid (and i do mean KID) has no freaking clue how he is gonna help or if he is gonna help raise the baby.. i feel sorry for the girl.. but yuck! a 15 and 12/13 year old?!?! girls mature faster as is and yet she is way older than him.. i would have never gone that much of an age difference when i was her age!! yeah in the USA they would need the parents to sign off for them to marry.. i dont think they should marry since the kid/boy is clueless on what life is like and how to be mature.. where would they live anyways?!? at home with one of their parents so its not like they would really learn to me.. i dont know the whole thing is a mess and sad.. the dad said it right that it was too late for the talk but i think he is right in having it still just to try to keep it from happening again.. i wonder if he will be super strict on the boy now and not allow him any girlfriends or wont care and soon there will be another article about the same boy having more kids?!?

These poor kids. What kind of future will they have? I think instead of a special license to marry, they should give the child up for adoption.

Here too, the boy would be jailed. Or if his parents accept then they can get married. But later on their lives will become hell as it is not too good to marry at such age. Yet they will have lots to see in life. Moreover they are still too young to take each other responsibility and that of their baby..

it is very disappointing to here such type of news because how their parents live their child's to the vain i think they must monitor their children till they become mature because they have the least responsibility to words their child it's so disgusting to imagine the situation.
