When natural selection CLEARLY gets it right...

Imagine this. The 32 year-old mother of a 13-year old child can no longer bear children, but she wants a child with her current boyfriend. What options for them come to mind?

A surrogate mother?

Fertility treatments? Octomom did it in grand style.

Adoption?

How about a darned PUPPY?

Apparently Shana Brown of western Pennsylvania is a much more complex thinker than us simple-minded organisms. Because the genius machine in her dome concocted a plan to drug her 13-year old daughter and allow her grown-assed boyfriend to rape and impregnate the girl.

Seriously, the girl escaped the sick plan on three different occasions:

"The three attempts to occurred in Brown's home in Uniontown, about 50 miles south of Pittsburgh, according to the criminal complaint. The girl told police the plot was apparently hatched sometime in December after she rejected her mother's proposal that she allow Calloway to impregnate her and then marry him."

If your eyes aren't burning from their sockets yet, you can read the entire story here.

Now I'm not one to be unreasonable. I want to be fair. Let's all offer the mother a round of applause for giving the girl the option to screw the boyfriend and have the baby while wide awake. [crickets] I thought so...

It's a shame when odd news goes from funny and quirky to tragic. While we've all complained (once or twice) about bad mothers who can't stop having kids, how about the sweet natural selection that robbed Ms. Brown of her fertility? Who knows what Tales of Fantastic Mothering would have met offspring #2.

I hear there's a special place in hell for Baptists who drink and *gasp* dance. There must be a special place in jail for mothers who condone the statuatory rape of their own daughters, and the flaming morons who join the party.

As the mother of a 17 y/o daughter who is in no way ready to become a mother, I damn sure couldn't imagine having her raped and impregnated to suit my desire for another child. WTF x infinity? I'm so effin angry at this story and I want to slap the crap out of this woman. AARRGGHH!

Love to live; live to love!

While there is a part of me that wants to run off any number of sick jokes, there is a bigger part of me that's just so disgusted by this situation that I can't even manage gallows humor about it.

...though, I can manage a few mental images of the boyfriend and mother hanging from the gallows...of course, only a couple states still had that option last I was keeping up with forms of capital punishment...

I can't even imagine it. That is really horrible.

@Frugal: Hey stranger! I have breezed thru your blog a few times, but I haven't had the time to leave comments. I need to catch up, tho. I'm so glad you stopped by!

@Blu: Any decent woman with a child - especially a female child - would have your same reaction. I sure did! Don't you wonder what cell must be misfiring for this ish to sound like a good idea???

@Deacon Blue: I heard that. Some stuff is just too awful to find the glimmer of a joke (although I can be quite dark enough to find one for just about anything. LOL)

@Chele: Doesn't it make you cringe when you read that story and then look at your daughter? I almost ruined my own lunch with this one. I really need a happier story for the next one. LOL

You have got to be kidding right? This crazy heffer offered her own daughter to a grown ass man so he could get her pregnaunt? Are you sure this was not West Virginia instead of PA?

@Dirty Red: I so wish I was kidding. People are doing things these days that I couldn't even think up for fiction writing. The truth has truly become FAR stranger than fiction. BTW, it's good to see you here. :-)

That is ridiculous. But it occurs more often than we think. I went to high school with a girl who had 2 kids by her Mama's boyfriend!
