Schoolgirl sisters raise babies together in family home

THREE schoolgirl sisters are raising babies together in a house they share with their mother after giving birth aged 12, 14 and 16.

The family is paid benefits worth more than £30,000 a year and lives in a rent-free council house.

Julie Atkins and daughters Natasha Williams, now aged 18, Jade Williams, 15, and 14-year-old Jemma Williams told how the babies' fathers had no contact with their children and contributed nothing towards their upkeep, according to the Sunday Mercury.
