Teen Parent Does A Crap Job
On last night's Baby Borrowers, the teens traded in their babies for toilet-training toddlers, which proved to be an even bigger challenge. Morgan, the chillaxed SoCal girl, didn't seem to be too stressed about it, even though she made some pretty big errors in childrearing. When her toddler pooped himself, she first let him roll around on her neighbors' couch with just the diaper on until they complained. Then she dragged the kid by the arm across the floor. When she changed his diaper, she didn't even wipe the crap off him, she just put a fresh diaper on. Poor baby probably got a wicked rash from that. The interesting thing about last night's episode is that most of the teen parents were fighting over who would get to work and who would have to stay home with the children that week. Almost all of them wanted to work outside the home, proving just how hard, valid, and important stay-at-home parenting really is. Clip above.

Teen Mom Tries To Quit Baby Borrowers 24 Hours Into Taping
Baby Borrowers is only in its second episode, and one of the girls — Kelsey, the one who was the most gung ho about wanting to have kids immediately — has already learned her lesson. As seen last night, Kelsey began freaking out and crying about being left alone with the baby, so her boyfriend had to stay home with her so he could care for the child. The show's producers asked the baby's real mother to give Kelsey a talk, and she convinced the teen to keep on trying, in large part because she too was once a teen mother. (Um, isn't that negating the entire point of this experiment?) Clip above.

Over Half Of Female FLDS Teens In Texas Custody Have Been Pregnant
Here we are, worried about the sexualization of 15-year-old Miley Cyrus, when 31 out of 53 girls from the ages of 14-17 from the Yearning For Zion ranch are pregnant or already have children. Although the polygamist Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints have been claiming that they do not marry off 13 and 14 year old girls to older men, the number of very young yet pregnant girls seems to refute these claims. What's more, there are 53 girls ages 14-17 who were taken from the ranch, while only 17 boys in that age group were living with the sect. (The gender divisions in children under 14 were about 50/50.) This gives credence to the tales of "lost boys" of the FDLS: adolescent males who were exiled from the sect to keep the gender imbalance favorable for polygamous unions. More »
