A big problem here in Mountain Town is how young the girls are when they start their families.
Melinda is a perfect example. She had her first at 16, the father of the child was imprisoned for statutory rape because she was a minor.
That first daughter will be 7 this year and is an amzing and brilliant girl.
There is also a 2 year old
there is a 6 month old
and the 6 year old told me that Melinda will have another in July.
It's tragic because the mom says she cna't find anyone to provide birth control. They are 7 folks ina one bedroom squalid trailer.
Dad is unemployed. The 2 year old appears to possibly have autism, and the baby appears very depresseed.
The irony is that the mom is articulate. She wants to pretend her life is under control but it's a joke. Any a new baby by summer. oyyyyyyy
