As an aside: What sort of responsible adult gets an IRresponsible 
juvenile pregnant? When was th last time you heard about RESPONSIBLE 
juveniles (in the legal sense ) ?

Hey, have I got an offer for you ! "Allegedly" this really happened a few
years ago (maybe its' really a folk tale, but I don't know).

Nineteen year old man gets 17 year old girl pregnant. Girl gets Mamas
permission to get married to man, and teh couple got married. MARRIED
even, already.  Papa hates boys' gut. So he goe to police, files a 
statutory rape charge (over 18 is an adult).

Boy goes to jail for STATUTORY RAPE !

Sounds like a good topic for net.legal, hey ?

Another scenario I "heard" about, was that a woman agreed to have sex with 
a man, and he with her, an if a child came of it, SHE AGREED in writing not 
to hold him liable for child support. She, goes on welfare, and the welfare 
takes the john to court. The judge statea: "The childs' rights cannot be 
nullified by its' parents agreements." The man (john) has to pay until child 
turns of age.

"Heard" as on a radio show (WEEI , Boston, Ma), as part of "legal
peculiarities or <whatever its called>".
