A 12 yo is nine months pregnant?

my heart is breaking about this and even more so because the 12 year old is pregnant. I do NOT want to know who the father is.

Yeah I had a WTF moment there myself.

Yeah, I was thinking this too.  But it looks pretty obvious, unfortunately.

I got a text earlier that there was an Amber Alert in NC.  I usually don't look up more information unless they are close to me or I am in the area.  This one sickens me on multiple levels.
