16 Kids with 14 mums: Staggering numbers exposed feckless dad

lollywood —

THE most shameless dad in the land is today expecting the birth of his 16th child ­– with 14 different mums.


Jobless Jamie Cumming, 34, was called a “predator” by his own ­mother over his latest fling.


She said: “He likes them young ­because they are gullible.”


The teenager, who we cannot name for legal reasons, was in labour last night. Cumming was exposed by The People this summer after his 13th young lover ­became pregnant with his baby number 15. But unknown to us, another ­teenager – lover number 14 – was also ­carrying his child

In a case described as "heartbreaking" by police, the boy, named Charlie by nurses, was left by the woman who police think gave a false name.

The mother was last seen walking towards the car park at Newham General Hospital on Wednesday night.


She had gone into labour outside a shop in East Ham on Wednesday evening and a passer-by called an ambulance.


She was taken to hospital and gave birth minutes after arriving.


Just before midnight "Miss Sctarra" went outside the hospital to have a cigarette and then disappeared.

Breast feeding doll for young girls goes on sale

lollywood —

Parents' fury as breastfeeding doll for young girls goes on sale


We've seen dolls that cry, dolls that drink and eat, even dolls that soil themselves.


But now one Spanish toy company has come up with a controversial way of making their products even more authentic - a breastfeeding doll.

But Berjuan has been slammed by parents who complain the bizarre toy promotes the sexualisation of young girls.


Bebe Gloton, meaning greedy baby, looks like any regular toy, but comes with a bra-like halter top featuring symbolic flowers for the child to wear

To play with the doll, it is latched on to the petals, where it emits a suckling sound, before it has to be burped to stop it from crying.

The bizarre electronic creation, which was designed by Berjuan to promote breast-feeding, has sparked outrage among some parents who have branded the toy 'inapropriate'.


Posting a comment after watching a demonstration video online, one user wrote: 'This toy would never work in the U.S. because the public would sexualize the act of breastfeeding, thereby deeming it inappropriate for little girl to engage in.'

Another wrote: ' Honestly, I think this is awful. Now let me just be clear, I think breastfeeding is wonderful and wholeheartedly encourage it, however, it is completely inappropriate to allow a young girl to mimic it.


'Yes, breastfeeding is completely natural, but it is something that only adults do, not children. It would actually disgust me if I were to see a child using this “toy”.'

Many parents however were happy to buy Bebe Gloton for their own child as a means of encouraging the natural process of breast-feeding.

One poster wrote: 'I think is great because there are so many teenage mothers like myself that won't breastfeed because of the way society has put it in their heads not too.

'it is the best thing for them and it promotes that its the best way to keep your baby healthy, and its free, we can use that in this economy today.'

Another fan of Bebe Gloton wrote enthusiastically: 'This isn’t gross. What’s gross is a doll that poops.'

The life-like doll measures 19.6 inches long, the average length of a real new-born, and is available in either gender, retailing at around 44 euros.

It is available to buy in Spain but has yet to hit international markets.
