I think how capable a person is depends on how they're raised. My sister started taking care of me when she was 7. At the time, I was 4 and our brother was less than a year old. She wasn't allowed to take care of him on her own until a year or so later when he could already walk. We were all taught how to cook on the stove (yes, we lit it by ourselves) before we even went to kindergarten. I hate to admit it but when I was 8, my brother was better at cooking rice on a stove. He was 4 at the time. I don't condone raising latchkey kids, but I can't say that there's anything stopping a child from learning how to raise another child.
I think as long as an adult is there to teach that 10-year-old the basics (and preferably more) before actually letting her take care of the baby, the child should be perfectly capable of raising the baby herself.
I know most people wouldn't let kids take care of kids, but in places where folks have to do anything and everything to make ends meet, kids mature earlier. They have to. Of course, child molestation should still never be tolerated. Rapists and child molesters aren't even fit to be called animals as animals don't try to mate with juveniles.IMHO, those sickos need to have certain body parts hacked off. Slowly. With a dull, rusty butter knife. With no anaesthesia. Then maybe those body parts should get shoved up their asses really hard.
I just don't know about the 14-year-old who got the girl pregnant. He's just a kid himself.
