Why is a 17 year old having kids?
Do you have any idea how intentionally bad sex ed is in places?
places = u.s.a for those that didn’t know
Yes, this post is referencing the US but if you think that’s the only place sex ed is non-existent you’re very mistaken.
because most of the United States is a developing country, and it’s mostly “developing” backwards.
Life happens. A mistake of heaving sex too early doesn’t mean that caring for a child and loving them is a mistake.
And abortion not allowed.
As somone who had kids and loves kids, it absolutely is a mistake. It doesn’t mean she can’t / won’t love the kid, but we need better sex ed and contraceptive accessibility for everyone.
People like her still need our support, but we also need to make sure these kind of accidents happen as little as possible. Now her life will be multiple times harder than it should be and the child’s life will also be multiple times harder than it should be.
Its a mystery - why would a hypercapitalist society increasingly dependent on manual labour destroy education, destroy workers rights, remove the ability to abort unwanted pregnancies and make prisoners legal slaves?
I can’t tell if this is a joke or if someone actually thought this was uplifting.
This is /c/aboringdystopia
No, this is Patrick
Fucked up
Orphan crushing machine.

That village failed.
The thing is, this is a situation where there was no village. She’s her own village, working and taking care of her kid simultaneously. “It takes a village” would mean someone else watched her kid without question because she needed someone. So this is dumb on a lot of levels.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. A village would involve someone helping this woman in some way, not just making her do everything and then taking a picture of it for (presumably) social media clout.

No such thing as agency at fast food jobs here. You call out and your shift either works short or calls in someone else who is supposed to be off. Having 0 labor protections is amazing.

It’s a strong possibility.
That’s not what “It takes a village” means 🙄
That may be true, but you gotta understand something, mate: this post was written by the village idiot.
Not even remotely the correct usage.
Not even remotely the correct village!
does anyone actually see this and think it’s heartwarming???
Not at all… I bet the manager would have sacked her if she could.
Nope
This gives me the same vibe as all those “feelgood” stories about communities coming together to pay for some valued member’s back surgery or cancer treatment or something.
It’s nice people do that, but what about people that are less liked, and how is it that we have so much wealth going around, and yet extremely basic things like healthcare are still factors people need to concern themselves with being able to afford?
Would you like extra fries for a dollar more?
No, but how much for the kid?
Having lived in milwaukee, I saw this a lot at fast food places
I saw it in a st louis taco bell recently.
17, working and has a child?! 💀
Please tell me the original poster was being sarcastic… Please…
Good chance you will see it re posted to upliftingnews@lemmy.world
I would cross post it myself, but I am banned from there for cross posting things from here…
Dipshits like this are always serious.
Hahaha, no, dumbfucks all over think this is a feel good story because the job didn’t fire her ass right away like they would have 15 years ago in the “you’re lucky to have a job” era. Now they’re so short on workers who actually want to work such bullshit-ass jobs that they’re willing to “make exceptions.”
Every single fucking day, my soul wilts just a little bit more…
Plus in a few years the girl can start working there too since child labor laws would be extinct and she already knows how to run the register.
Her manager let her work
Truly magnanimous

The manager was generous enough to let her carry her child while working, but not generous enough to pay her enough to get childcare, or provide it themselves?
It reminds me a bit of the story of a mother going in for a job interview, and shortly after, being arrested for child negligence/endangerment, because she’d left her child unattended (in the same area) while attending said interview. This situation feels like it’s setting up for that kind of thing.
I mean, it’s McDonald’s. The manager doesn’t have the ability to pay her a living wage. The manager is a wage slave as well, or even worse on salary while having to cover so many shifts they’re barely averaging minimum wage themselves.
No, the person you’re mad at is the franchise owner.
And, depending on the store, the franchise owner could be barely breaking even despite paying employees so poorly.
Restaurants, and especially Fast food, is a very low margin industry unless the stores are churning through a significant number of orders consistently throughout the day.
Source: managed a fast food store for a couple years that, after all costs, barely broke even most months of the year.
Uhhh… looks at her age
UHHHHHHHH
