What's even worse for decades her dad has been speculated as their father/grandfather
jeezus christ.
Exactly
jeezus christ.
She never spoke on who their father was. Perhaps since she's no longer hear, someone who knows may finally spill the beans.

Society didn't protect girls like they do now. A 14-year old broad was considered "fair game" to some.
I'm 34 and feel like 18-year olds look too young. Of course girls back then looked older at an earlier age but they still were children. Our society didn't understand that the brain isn't developed fully until your mid-20s.

so what you saying?
that wasn't unusual back then. i knew people who dropped out in 8th grade pregnant.
She had her first child at 12 and her second at 14.
if you look back in time with modern standards you will be offended by everything that was going on. that's not a cosign just a statement on the reality of things. the older brehs on here have all talked about how we used to see girls in highschool with us dating older men frequently.
true to an extent. people were not treated as or considered children like they are now. the whole concept of teenagers is pretty new to humanity actually.
people went to work at 13, 14... were fighting in wars at 16, 17... if society doesn't treat you as a kid you are also forced to mature early so the mentality of a teenager back then would not be the same as today at the same age. different outlook on life and responsibilities.

Not only that, but this kind of stuff went on forever, and no one told them it was wrong...I’m not sure “pedophile” was an even commonly known word...soon as a girl was ovulating...to a lot of men she was red meat

The average age of marriage for women was 18-22 in the 1930s. Society might have accepted it but it wasn’t normal.
J Edgar Hoover had something to do with SAM Cooke's death.
