In a chat with Daily Mail UK, the girls’ parents had this to say:
“That little girl does not bring shame to me at all, I’m so proud of her.
Shame doesn’t even come into it.We didn’t know this was happening.
Unfortunately, kids this age are going to grow up to have boyfriends
and partners or whatever. If they do things behind their parents’ back
that’s something we’re never going to be able to find out.’
We only found out she was pregnant a month ago. That means she was eight
months pregnant. The baby is going to come into the world no matter
what. You can just be supportive about it. The families on both sides
are going to be very supportive about it. It is heartbreaking, but you
can’t turn back time. You can only go forwards.We don’t know where it
happened. What you’re implying is that we knew they were having sexual
intercourse in bedrooms. No.’They made a mistake and that’s the thing
we’ve got to deal with now and just be proud of what we’ve got.
They’re very into each other,
totally in love. She is obsessed with him. She sees this as true love. They
want to get married.’” the father said
