Kids Having Kids
A Massachusetts high school is facing a pregnancy boom with 17 girls entering summer vacation expecting babies in what some have called a pregnancy pact. None of them is older than 16.
Officials at Gloucester High School in Gloucester, Mass., are investigating whether half of the teens made a pact to get pregnant during the school year.
Officials said that beginning last fall a large group of girls started asking the school clinic for pregnancy tests, the site said.
"Some girls seemed more upset when they weren't pregnant than when they were," principal Joseph Sullivan told Time.com.
The pregnancy rate at the 1,200-student school is four times higher than the previous year, and officials were shocked to learn that men in their 20s had fathered some of the babies.
"We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy,"

Woman, Boyfriend Plead Guilty to Pornographic Photos of 8-Year-Old Daughter
A Gloucester Massachusetts woman and her boyfriend both pleaded guilty to federal charges for posting pornographic photos of the woman's 8-year-old daughter online.
Kendra D'Andrea and Willie Jordan pleaded guilty to production of child pornography and conspiracy to produce child pornography.
Jordan is scheduled to be sentenced July 10 and D'Andrea is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 23. They face a maximum of 30 years in prison.
The couple still face state charges of rape and distributing obscene materials.
D'Andrea was arrested in December 2004 after state child welfare officials received an anonymous tip that a girl was being abused. Jordan, a trucker, was arrested later in Michigan.
The couple allegedly photographed Jordan having sex with the girl then posted the pictures online. No trial date has been set.
