Mom, 15, Charged With Neglect For Handing Baby To Strangers
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. -- A 15-year-old mother was charged with child neglect Wednesday for leaving her baby boy with two teenage strangers she met at a motel, sheriff's officials said.

The young mother approached the two young women, ages 16 and 18, on Tuesday outside a Motel 6 and handed them her baby before immediately leaving in a cab, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said.

The two women took care of the boy -- who deputies said is about 10 months old -- even stopping to buy food and diapers for him. But they grew tired of caring for the boy, and called the sheriff's office at about midnight Wednesday to report their situation.

Investigators learned the mother's name and phone number, and they had the teenagers call the mother to set up a meeting to return the child, the sheriff's office said.

1. OK now, lets conduct a little math excersize:
10 months old + 9 months of pregnancy = about 1.5 years

That means this girl was getting around when she was between 13.5 and 14.5 years old! (depending on how many months into 15 years she is).

2. I think something should be noted
WTH is a man at ANY age thinking of getting a girl so young impregnate??? I never even thought of putting that kind of a responsibility on a girl so young.

3. Some seek them out that young
They're easier to control and manipulate.
