I read an article today on foxnews.com about a 9 year old girl in Mexico giving birth to baby girl and says the teenage father is 17 years old written by the Associated Press of foxnews.com. The 17 year old boy hasn't been seen in the neighborhood and authorities claim if his paternity is proven he will be charged with child abuse. I feel that whom ever the father of the child is probably scared and doesn't want to face the facts that he is a father and to me I think its the cowardly way to get out of things especially when you know you are going to be a parent pretty soon. Also if he knew he wasn't ready to be a father what was the point of doing what he did to her. Not only that but it was wrong for the 17 year old boy to date and have interest in a 9 year old girl and he should be arrested not only for child abuse but also rape charges because she was not of age to date him.
