Forums Forums National News Girl modelling underwear at 12, and pregnant at 15

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...proud-mother-wait-new-council-house.html

By age 12, Soya Keaveney had already posed in lacy underwear and was on a strict diet so she could become a model.
So it should not come as a surprise that by the age of 15 the youngster is pregnant - and her mother is delighted.

Proudly showing her bump, the aspiring model from Thornaby, Cleveland, insists she is going to be a brilliant mother.

'It was a shock at first but now I'm really excited,' Soya, who is 16-weeks pregnant, told The Sun.

'I'm the first of my friends to have a baby - but I don't think I've grown up too fast.'

And her unemployed mother, Janis, 48, is delighted at the prospect that the new addition will mean a larger council home for the family including her other children Coco, Ritzy, Tarot and Jake.
She hopes that the council will upgrade them from a three-bedroom house to a five-bedroom home.

.....another one for the council house and doleys debate...

Dont think this is anything to be proud off!!

Nope neither do i - but you know within urself that as soon as you read the mum is proud that she is unemployed!!

And then being happy that her 15 year old daughter is pregnant because she gets a bigger house for it!!

i was repulsed by this. very shocking.

This is a joke!I carnt belive a mother would accept this!
Shocking!

I posted this in the other thread we were commenting on yesterday.

Disgusting that, very odd, I've always thought the same of the beauty paegants the Americans hold, just plian wierd

Yes I would agree with the beauty pagents in America being wrong - and the girls as young as 8 having botox in the UK, and wearing false eyelashes and false nails etc and having 10 year olds posing for pics that you would expect Kate Moss to be modelling in....it's just wrong on so many levels!!

Keep kids as kids!!

No way i'd put my littlin forward for any of that

The antics of these types of oxygen thieves never fails to amaze. Nothing seems to have been said about the father (for lack of a better word). Sex with a minor is an arrestable offence - or maybe I'm just plain old fashioned ??? Am I missing the point here ???

No comment on the names that will adorn the Criminal Records Office and Benefits Offices around the country in years to come. Gimme strength!

No your right - I'm sure it is meant to be an arrestable offence - it does mention the father in the news article - he's 17, which is above age - which means technically he should be done for statutory rape. It's not you missing the point, your right!

Oxygen Thief - nice one Pinz.

I'll keep that one

It's sex with a minor I believe, I think it only becomes statutory rape at below the age of 13, I think there's a difference between a section 5 and a section 6 offence.

Also, if there is less than 3 years different between the 2 parties then generally it will not be dealt with in the same was as for example a 25 year old would be if he slept with a 15 year old.

I also believe it's treated very differently if the offender is under 24.

I could be wrong but it's not in the public interest to charge a boy of 17 for sleeping with his 15 year old long term girlfriend.

No-body - yes you may be right - however there is a difference when comes to that 17 year old boy getting that 15 year old pregnant - surely then that becomes a problem because he wasn't practicing safe sex (with condoms - as the mother claims she was on birth control - at 15 - would you take the pill correctly...hmmmm)

Oh it's a massive issue Nikki. Although I'm defending the offence I still think the kid needs to be 'disappeared' and given to a family who can't have kids but have the means to bring them in a civilised and proper manner. It's a joke isn't it.
