And the guys? They all presumably had above-average intelligence?
Well it wasn't a group of teenage boys making the baby pact, and we don't know enough about most of the fathers to comment (most could have been average high school boys simply looking for action).
However I will say the 24 year old homeless bum doesn't really sound like much of a winner.
The mother won't be getting much in the way of child support from him.

If the girl wasn't thinking maturely enough to stop herself from forming this stupid pact, I'm quite sure she did not think far enough down the road about child support. I guess she figures that the money will come from the secret money tree that mommy and daddy have given her everything else from.
This is not the first time I've heard of one of these Pregnancy Pacts. It is really stupid. I'm not saying that I will not fail my kids, but I hope like hell that by the time my daughter is old enough to have kids, I will have filled her head with enough knowledge that she will not even THINK about something like that.
Fortunately, she's not quite two yet, so I've got time. It also scares the hell outta me about what the world will be like by the time she IS a teenager!
