Lyssa Rae Chapman's "Harrowing" Teenage
Born as the ninth child of Duane Chapman, Baby Lyssa didn't experience a typical childhood as a celebrity kid does. Instead, she spent a stressful childhood that can be best described as "harrowing." Lyssa couldn't gain proper rearing from her crack-addict father and an alcoholic mother.
Lyssa was only 14 when she got pregnant with her first child. She said she gave birth to her daughter, Abbie Mae Chapman, a day after she turned 15th birthday. In an interview during her second pregnancy, Lyssa revealed Abbie's father was a 24-year-old man who was arrested subsequently under statutory rape charges.
