also when you said about her being 14 and 6 months pregnant whats not to say she hadnt already been raped by someone and that is how she is pregnant or just as easily if she hadnt have been killed she could have been a just as good or even better of a mother as females twice her age!!
I find it hard to belive that a 14 year old could be a better mother than a 38 year old. For one, the 14 year old will not have the maturity or life experience to deal with the responsibility of a child. Also, she will be depending on her parents to help care for the baby. She will be forced to drop out of school at least temporarily, therefore making it harder later on for the teenager to get a job. The baby will also probably have a rough early childhood. How will this turn out well for anyone?

Please realise i'm not saying that she should have been killed-no one deserves to be raped or murdered.

On another note, has anyone picked up Seventeen, or any other magazine of the like recently? There is almost nothing of worth inside the typical teen magazine. The articles are all about the newest fashions, the best value on makeup or what diets are effective. Thoughtful, meaningful articles are few and far between. This is of course in addition to the makeup advertisements every other page.

No wonder the "age of innocence" is dropping.
