Babies Having Babies
Kordeza Zhelyazkova
Apparently, in Bulgaria, it is still permissible for a 19-year-old to have sex with a ten year old……as long as the girl’s family agree for them to get married afterward. It seems that Kordeza Zhelyazkova got pregnant only two weeks after her 11th birthday, and the father of the child is a 19-year old named Jeliazko. Kordeza and Jeliazko were in the process of getting married when she went into labor, and delivered a 5-pound, 8-ounce girl.
Jeliazko met his bride when he saw her being bullied on the school playground, and told the other children to leave her alone. Maybe the school configuration is different in Bulgaria – I don’t know – but here in the US, if you pass an elementary school, you can pretty much guess that all of the kids on the playground are under 12. He claims that he thought she was 15, though. Because that’s what she told him. And he simply wasn’t smart enough to check and make sure that she was being truthful. Riiiiight. I think he is simply a child molester who was scouting the playground for a new playmate. Looks like he found one.
Apparently the girl’s family are OK with the situation, because: “It’s normal for our girls to have babies young,” said Kordeza’s grandmother Dida, 55. “It’s our tradition.”
She did temper that with the statement that she didn’t want that for her granddaughter, because she felt that she was too young. But then she consented to the marriage between the two, which seems to prove otherwise. Surely she knows that the child will be pregnant again within a couple of months – after all, they are married now, and the sex is therefore legal. Mind-boggling. And sickening.
Thanks to Marcy for the tip.
