She probably is. It makes it easier to work because she doesn't have to follow child labor laws. How many hours she can work per day or week etc.
And that would effectively make her an adult in the eyes of the law I believe.

The Fair Labor Standards Act does not limit the number of hours or times of day for workers 16 years and older.

Proud, proud day for the Spears clan... all that money and fame, still zero class any way you look at 'em.

nittanyalum, I laughed at that too. But, you forget that in high school dating terms, "years" = "eternity." Most high school relationships probably last what, a couple months? So they have known each other for an eternity in that warped thinking. But since I think it's Lynne that said that, I dunno....

I think I read she's finishing up the 3rd season of her show.

Excellent point, and I have no doubt Lynne is trying to put a good spin on it and somehow "legitimize" her SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD'S pregnancy (not possible). I don't remember seeing an age on the guy -- is he also 16 or is he some skeezy older letch?

I believe he is 19. Unless he is unusually mature it may have been better for the child if he was he a skeezy older letch lol.

Doesn't that make it statutory rape then?

Ok, so if they've been together for "years", wouldn't that mean that at some point he was 18 and she was 15, 17 and 14... illegal in most states, no?

The article i read said that they were together for less than a year. They say "long term" but don't specify long term.
As a guy 4 months seems forever to me.
They also say they "knew" each other for years. Careful wording by a PR flak you know?

I'm sure it varies state to state, but for some, if they're both underage, it's not statutory rape [in some, it is]. In some states, there are permissible years between ages if one is over 18. Three years may be okay for wherever they are. I know in some states it's four.
