Boy aged 12 did not father baby Click here. 

I'm really not sure where to begin with this one. Seriously. 

First of all, a 12 year old kid thinks he's got his 15 year old girlfriend pregnant. The amount of weird sh*t that has to be going on for that to even be on the cards is frankly mindboggling. 

Then it turns out that the girl wasn't impregnated by this lad, but rather by another 15 year old. Which is better, I suppose, but at the same time even worse, because not only is she a cradle-snatcher, but a bit of a tramp, too. Her parents must be so proud!

You'll often hear it bandied about that such-and-such a story is indicative of the general moral decline of our once proud nation. I don't believe that sh*t, because let's face it we used to ship slaves half way around the world to grow sugar for us. Our moral compass has always pointed in a somewhat southerly direction. Nor is it even a particularly damning reflection on the state of the press in this country - fifty years ago this would still have been reported. Perhaps not as sensationally, but still... 

So if it's nothing to do with moral or factual decline, why am I so wound up by the story? Well, it's simple. That sh*t is f***ed up, dude.
