Of those 53, Crimmins said 26 claim to be 18 or older. "But we don't think they are," he said.

....that 26 helps explain how the number went from about 5 to 31, and the explanation "we don't think they are" tells me something about how firm a foundation the "31 in 53 kiddies are mommies" charges rests upon.

and bear in mind that the State wouldn't let things like State of Texas issued drivers licenses and birth certificates serve as proof of a persons age.....
