This is the absolute worst story I have read today

TULSA, Okla. (Gray News) – Police arrested a mother in Oklahoma for child neglect after her 12-year-old daughter gave birth to the child of a man twice her age.

According to the Tulsa Police Department, an investigation revealed the child’s mother and family members were aware of the relationship between 24-year-old Juan Miranda-Jara and the girl.

Miranda-Jara admitted to police he had been in a relationship with the girl since October 2020. Police say the family allowed for the relationship to happen.

“There are photos of the family throwing a baby shower for the victim and the suspect,” police wrote in a statement posted on Facebook.

That those eyebrows are only the second worst thing about this story. Yikes.

Glad they are all going to jail. Wonder what happens to the kid and baby. Certainly don't want any of these cretins raising it.

I notice you are a regular “region-basher.” I just wonder why?

You seem decent in most posts, but then I see you making fun of various states and regions, all of whom are represented here on this forum.

Why do you do that? I’m really curious why someone would constantly do that.

I was born and raised in Texas to a father who was born and raised in Oklahoma. He couldn't get out of there fast enough. The day he turned eighteen, he joined the Air Force and got out of there.

I actually have very fond memories of my childhood in Texas. In fact, every time I start talking about growing up in San Antonio, I start to sound like a Truman Capote short story.

I really hate the fact that the state in which I spent such an idyllic childhood is turning into the Republic of Gilead.

I hate that right-wing Texans are jostling to live up to the buffoonish image they themselves have created. I hate that a state that is home to NASA and some of the finest universities in the land is being run by a bunch of rootin'-tootin', six-gun shootin' clowns for whom toxic masculinity is the only kind of masculinity.

As long as that image is celebrated down there, I'll stay in my adopted home of Washington State. Sure we have our problems here, but not like in Texas.

And the less said about Oklahoma, the better. I'll let my father's elopement speak for itself...

says the same thing about Arkansas, where he was born. His dad got out as soon as he graduated from the University of Arkansas (with ROTC under his belt), became a Marine officer, and never looked back. I'm not exactly clear why his mother went back there to have him. They only went back to visit grandparents in the summer and SU remembers hating the heat and humidity and his allergies being set off by the "swamp cooler" in the bedroom where he and his brother slept. His mother went back after his parents' divorce late in life but he only went back when he had to (dutiful son) and hasn't been back since her death. Not likely to, either.

As for Oklahoma, I once opined to a Texas friend the Oklahoma sucks and her reply was, "It does, but it keeps Kansas from crashing into us!"

... and the fact that she approved of the guy her 12-year-old daughter was in a relationship with.
The girl's father is currently in prison serving a 12-year sentence for 1st Degree Rape (unrelated to this case.)
