A nine year old girl in Mexico has given birth to a baby girl.
Authorities believe the girl, a child herself was raped or being
sexually abused. The baby girl was born in Zoquipan Hospital in Jalisco
state, on January 27weighing 5lbs 7oz.
The baby’s mother has been identified only as Dafne, and she was only
eight years old when she became pregnant. According to her mother who
told officials, a teenager got her daughter pregnant, but he has since
run away. She said: “The father is a boy who is 17, but we have not
found him, since he ran away.”
Jorge Villasenor with the state prosecutors’ office said: “We are
looking for the young man to get his story because she does not
understand what has happened. This is a rape or child sex abuse case.”
Both girls have since been released from hospital and thought to be
doing well, the hospital will be doing a follow up and working
extensively with the family to ensure the safety of both children, due
to the age of the new mother.
The youngest girl to give birth is thought to be Lina Medina, from
Ticrapo in Peru, she had a caesarean section when she was aged five
years and seven months and had a baby boy. This was in 1939, it was
originally thought that she had a tumour when her parents took her to
hospital however she was seven months pregnant.
