So, who didn't see this happening???

Remember last month I commented about the chain-smoking, drinking, 12-year old in Scotland who was 8 months pregnant??

Well, she had the baby. Poor wee tyke.....

Chain-smoking 12-year-old's baby fights for life

"A chain-smoking 12-year-old has become Britain's youngest mum.

But last night her baby daughter was desperately ill in hospital after suffering breathing difficulties at birth.

The tiny infant stopped breathing moments after birth, as she was cradled in the arms of her schoolgirl mother."


Let's see. 6lbs 13oz. Started having breathing problems soon after birth. Mom's 12, chain-smokes and drinks. *Her* mom's a 34 year old heroin addict, and her dad is a drug dealer . Two of her siblings are in prison. The baby's daddy's up on charges of statutory rape. *His* Mother is, of course, blaming it on the 12 year old, saying she was "dressed like a tart" and claimed to be 16.

*Faceplant* Welcome to the world kid. So very sorry you got the short end of the stick so young.

As for her mother - who has six children and is unemployed - she said she was proud of her daughter.

Doh!!
