5. And the POINT IS? Wow another baby having a baby and what makes it worse is, "the baby daddy doesn't chooses not to be in the public eye?" Give me a break people...He's either MARRIED, GAY, SPOKEN FOR, or A LOSER, ok....

7. Haters please stop. She's no baby. Good luck to her and her baby and baby's father. I wouldn't want to be in the public eye either. Look what happens when fools find out your business. They always has something negative to say.

9. Congratulations Ms. Paris! I know Egypt has to be a beautiful bundle of joy and with her big lungs, I'm sure she will carry on the family name with the heavenly singing you've been giving us. I think you're a beautiful and talented young lady that I just Adore! You're my Angel everytime you sing!
Love, Love, Love my Paris Bennett

10. Congrats? congrats? Please, Miss Paris is coming from a very religious and well respected family and we/they are happy about a child having a child? And being unmarried at that? How's that any different from the Jamie Spears situation? I think she put career at risk and her good family's name in the dump. Are we not teaching abstinence anymore? Absolutely absurd.

11. Maybe they don't realize how stupid they look to talk about a future husband that doesn't exist. Ok, your act is up! Just face it, you slipped up and got preggers and the baby daddy's gone. You wouldn't be the first...

12. I wish her and her new daughter well, but why do we continue to celebrate these teen unwed mothers? If it were my daughter, I would not disown nor be ashamed of her, but she would know that I was disappointed. These situations have just become the norm and not the exception and this should not be so.

13. This young lady is talented, but need to put priorities in order. If these young ladies don't want to abstain from having sex out of marriage. with the wide array of birth control to choose from, why are they so careless and irresponsible? We keep hearing about a large % of black women being plagued by Aids, this is why. No protection is used, and obviously no father is being published because he is probably also out of the picture. Yes, we know the child is here now and thank God she is healthy. But what about next time, why is such reckless behavior by women being condoned, with this deadly disease out there. All we need is another black child with no father in the picture. Another black woman who may have to raise the child alone, that is nothing to celebrate. We know the statistics of children (boys and girls) who need both parents in their lives, to have both to identify with. Our black men also need to step up to the plate and take responsibility for their actions too. The difference with Brittany's sister is the father is with her, and plans to marry her. It's not celebrated that she is an unwed teen, but at least the guy is trying to step up to the plate to take care of his child. What is Paris' "baby daddy" doing to step up to the plate?
Our culture is in a pitiful state, we hope the next generation will make our forefathers proud. Because we keep bringing our own culture down by not recognizing the importance of having a full family (mother & father) in the household for our black children. It is sad.
