Girl, 16, gives birth to triplets - for the SECOND time

"A teenage girl from Argentina has given birth to female triplets - for the second time. Named only as Pamela, the girl had her first set of female triplets aged just 15, giving birth to the second set a year later." She ALSO had a single son when she was 14. Lord, Lord have mercy. Her mother cleans houses to support her daughter and children. They receive some type of government assistance and will be asking for more. Perhaps someone should assist this 16 year old with birth control? I just CANNOT imagine being age 16 with SEVEN children. Hopefully, with all these children now she won't have time for sex anymore!! They live in a remote village, and certainly it will take a village and perhaps a government to raise these children. I wonder if she ovulates multiple eggs making fraternal twins or if they are identical? It doesn't specify in the article. But it does say this:"All seven children were born prematurely but without any kind of fertility treatment. While doctors say the three newborns and their mother are well, the case has sparked debate across Argentina, the BBC has reported. In bars, cafes, and newspapers, there has been widespread criticism of Pamela's alleged promiscuity."

In the link above, it says this:

Pamela's mother, Magdalena, 49, who works as a cleaner to support her grandchildren, said: "When we knew that we would again have triplets we wanted to die. She has no job, the father of the triplets left and I am the sole breadwinner for her and her family."


The case has sparked debate across the Roman Catholic country, with the media saying rather than financial help, she should have received better sex education and birth control advice.
