Its in the news, yet another Spears member is preggers and boy is there talk about this.
Seeing how the younger Spears is the star of the kids tv show “Zoey 101” its a bit embarrassing for a show about boys and girls at a formerly all boy boarding school to turn up preggers at such a tender young age. I’m sure she’ll lose that gig.
What I don’t understand is that the young Spears is 16, and her live-in boyfriend is apparently 19. According to California Penal Code Section 261-269:
261.5. (a) Unlawful sexual intercourse is an act of sexual
intercourse accomplished with a person who is not the spouse of the
perpetrator, if the person is a minor.
For the purposes of this section, a "minor" is a person
under the age of 18 years and an "adult" is a person
who is at least 18 years of age.
Shouldn’t said boyfriend be behind bars and labelled a sex criminal by now? Why is this being plastered all over the news as:
1.) look, yet another Spears kid is a mess up
2.) The book on parenting that the Spears’ kid’s mother wrote is on hold
There doesn’t seem to be anything on why a 16 year got pregnant by a 19 year old, regardless of who that 16 year old is. There were plenty of these cases where it was just some kid in some small town that was plastered over the headlines about how someone could let their small child get pregnant by an older guy and have the gall to take them to another state to get married. Why are the people in the small town treated like scum and this whole Spears thing seems to be just some amusing soap opera where nobody has to face any consequences for breaking a law.
I’m waiting for the entertainment shows to report on her baby “bump” (a new term that I find incredibly nauseating). How about we lock up the perv boyfriend, trot her out for everyone to see with a big ol scarlet A on her clothes, throw her in the pillory and teach our children that breeding right after they get their first period isn’t the path to success, despite what hollywood wants us to think.
How about a nice poster that says: “stay in school, keep your legs closed, and have a life before you bring another one into it”

And the tabloids are saying that Britney is pregnant AGAIN. Those Spears girls must be super fertile.
Wierd that Jamie Lynn told one source that she didn't have a BF but kept her options open, and then we hear that her 19 year old boyfriend lived with her and her mother. Yeah, that will increase your "little baby 16 year old"'s chances of getting pregnant.
I wait with baited breath for Mrs. Spears' parenting book.
