This little story of mine breaks my heart. We have a young lady of fourteen years who sits for us. She dropped a bomb shell on me the other night driving her home after sitting for us. We all know the family is under a lot of stress with the father's substance abuse and rather odd behaviors. I was told quite profoundly that she was trying her best to become pregnant so she would be sent away from her home. Her words: "He says he'll throw me out if I ever get pregnant."
