Pedophile Update

It seems that the Nebraska-Kansas pedophile marriage case has prompted Kansas to consider changing its law. http://www.kansas.com/mld/kansas/news/12266670.htm. This is good, but I still have to wonder what the mom was thinking that it was better to let her daughter marry a pedophile than to help her daughter raise the baby as a single mother.
