Probation for teen
'dad'
By Carolyn Quek
ALTHOUGH she had actually been pregnant for seven months, an
underaged girl wasn't aware that she was having a baby until her
parents sent the 14-year-old for a checkup.
On Tuesday, the father, also 14, was placed on one-year supervised
probation by the Juvenile Court, after he pleaded guilty to two
counts of carnal connection.
The teenager could have been jailed for up to five years and fined
up to $10,000 for each charge if he had been 16 when he engaged in
the acts.
He was also ordered to stay indoors from 9pm to 6am during the
probation period and will have to perform 120 hours of community
service.
The baby has been put up for adoption. The two teens met in July
2007 through the Internet when they were both 13. They were
initially 'casual friends' before getting serious a month
later.
The girl started visiting his flat and they had sex there for the
first time. The young couple also had sex sometime in December 2007
at the boy's place.
It was only in July last year that the girl suspected she might be
expecting after missing her period for several months.
It was also around this time that her parents confronted her. The
girl denied it initially but a subsequent check-up showed that she
was 28 weeks pregnant.
The 15-year-old joins a growing group of girls in Singapore who are
having sex under the age of 16. Last year, 310 teens were caught
engaging in consensual sex - nearly 45 per cent more than
2007.
