Is that OH, or HO? !
"Whose fault is it that more than 13 percent of Timkenās girls are with child? ... Suspects range from movies, TV and video games to lazy parents and lax discipline."
Silly me, I thought you had to have sex to get pregnant! I know why the liberals will say they got pregnant: abstinence!

Paging Greedy! Where are you?
I would've thought you'd be all over this one... or maybe you already were?

I read about this too, it's outrageous... but it makes me wonder what the numbers are in this area. Is this a statistic that is reported all over the US?

I did a little research last night, but didn't come up with much.
I did see where over 50% of the school students are on the free/reduced lunch program and the Timken Corp. has had layoffs.
There is a very high unemployment and low income (median income $9,455), there is a lack of sex education (I did find something about some new program they're going to start), there is gang activity, there is a low graduation rate (around 51%) and lack of parental involvement.

I was wondering what the demographics were like in that area...
the stats mstubble gave pretty much sums it up.
