What can be done to protect girls from the fate of "child bride"?

Asked by Cupcake (16280points) September 14th, 2009

This was particularly disturbing to me tonight.

As a woman still dealing with repercussions of pregnancy following sexual assault at 15, my heart is broken when I hear of such situations.

What can you and I do to protect girls?
What should parents do?
What should our schools do?
What should our health care system do?
What should our government do?

Thoughts?
