They are walking in the midst of the raging debates over government legislation that she be allowed in school during daytime. This of course ticks off moralists. They say, “No! She’s going to be a bad influence on our kids. It’s a disgrace to have that belly and going to school I tell you. Sure the boy who got her pregnant can still go to day school. But not the girl, send her to night school. Shameless girl!" ____________________ Wow. This shows how much boys are loved and girls are raised. Patriarchy and degradation of girls/women at its finest. I knew this went on around the world, but for some reason I didn't think that it'd be the same in Panama. Thanks for highlighting this (even though you may not realize that you did). And belated Feliz Dia de la Madre en Panama para todas las madres, especialmente las BUENAS madres. “The plight of Mary the almost-disgraced teen-mother brings to the fore Panama’s disgraced teen moms.
