Teenage dad killed in accident


A teenage father returning from his girlfriend's home died on Monday night when the car in which he was sleeping struck a light pole and split in two.
Christian Wells, 18, died at the side of the road when he was tossed out of the car that was ripped apart.

Christian Wells was the father of baby Christina, whose mother, Crissie Amoroso, he planned to marry.

The baby turned one year old last Thursday and on Sunday the family held a birthday party at Wells's home.

What caught my eye was the following:
  • Christian Wells was 18 years old.
  • The baby is 1 year old.
Doing some simple maths, he would have been 16 at the time the baby was conceived. No mention of the mother's age, but one can guess it would be about the same age as this chap. What the hell are parents doing these days?
