no, it is disgusting in its own right.
while human beings have been having human beings at 12-15 for indeed thousands of years, since the 1850s or so in the western world we have really worked to create a new phase in existence, adolescence, a kind of extended childhood, where we encourage in many ways the individual remain a child, yet their physical bodies are capable of reproduction and in fact have a yearning desire to do so..
the other children of the world who have children at 12-15 tend to have been working hard much of their lives (with little time to play "with playmobil"), have been groomed to be better prepared physically, mentally and emotionally to deal with it, and in general, the circumstances are more acceptable, where as for little white kids from the developed world to be having children well, that late bloomer of a youth up there's baby-faced picture speaks for itself..
