no confirmation of any pregnancy pact. Finally, one pregnant student, interviewed on Good Morning America, said: "There was definitely no pact...There was a group of girls already pregnant that decided they were going to help each other to finish school and raise their kids together." Media reactions to the event ranged from general criticism of the episode as representing a misguided adolescent shortcut to adulthood and identity, to the matter of whether statutory rape occurred; some of the girls were under 16, which in Massachusetts made it illegal for their partners to have sex with them.
