"Matthew Koso, who has attention deficit disorder and other learning disabilities,..."

I have taught ADD children and in most cases it does not hold them back emotionally so much that a person would not be considered capable of acting their age. It affects their ability to learn book knowledge, read, and do math. Yes it can affect behavior as well but not to the extent that is suggested in this article. I am curious what the OTHER learning disabilities are.

""At that time, our options were limited," Matthew's mother, Peggy Koso, said today on "Good Morning America." "It was either abortion, which was well past due; adoption, which was out of the question; and then it was to marry her, which we thought was the right thing to do.""

Raising the child in a single parent home or in the grandparents home is not an option??

""But you have to know Crystal," she said. "Kids are maturing at a very fast pace today, so in her case, I think she knows what she wants and she can make up her mind about it.""

They said in the first article that this girl had a limited capacity. So - yeah the BOY with limited capacity is too immature emotionally to recognize what he did as wrong and yet the GIRL with limited capacity is MORE mature?? This is screwed up justification for what happened.

""Here in Falls City you have two choices: go get drunk or high and die in a car accident or of an overdose, or go get pregnant," she said. "So which is the wrong choice?""

How are either of these a legit choice?? You can't stay home and out of trouble?? You can't go get a job? If you can't get a job, you can't go volunteer somewhere?? If this girl believes these were her choices before then what kind of life is she going to give her daughter?? That child should be adopted out if the picture is truely as corrupted as I see here.
