This is what we in the news biz call "advancing a story." I'm giving you the inside scoop right now on a story we will cover tomorrow morning during Daybreak. Here are the "Cliff Notes" for now. You may find this as shocking as we on the Daybreak team did. Read on...
A group of teen girls in Massachusetts make a pact last year to get pregnant. They apparently want to raise their babies together.
Today, 17 of those high school students are going to get that chance. By the way, as of last year... those 17 girls were younger than 16 years old. One of them slept with a homeless man in his 20's - in an effort to conceive.
According to the high school's principal... when they went in for pregnancy tests at the school's health clinic, they hi-fived each other when the results came back positive.
We'll of course have more tomorrow on the air (Daybreak begins at 5am) but, reader of this blog, I would love to get your thoughts on this story out of Gloucester, Mass. Please take a moment and comment. This story has so many facets... I encourage you to "sound off" on anything and everything about it.
