10-year-old gives birth....

[goku usa]

MADRID – A 10-year-old girl has given birth in southern Spain and authorities are evaluating whether to let her and her family retain custody of the baby, an official said Tuesday. The baby was born last week in the city of Jerez de la Frontera, said Micaela Navarro, the Andalusia region's social affairs minister.

Navarro told reporters the father of the baby is also a minor, and both the mother and the baby were in good health. Her department declined to give details, including the sex of the baby, but said authorities do not consider this a case of rape and that no criminal investigation is under way.

Under Spanish law, having consensual sex with someone under age 13 is classified as child abuse, an official with the Spanish Justice Ministry in Madrid said. But this particular case is complicated by the fact that the father of the baby is also a minor and it is not clear if he could be charged, the official said.

Spanish newspapers said the mother is of Romanian origin.

The daily Diario de Jerez reported the girl was already pregnant when she arrived in Spain, but did not say when she came to this country. It is not clear if the father is in Spain.

Medical experts warn that because young girls are still growing, they are at higher risk during pregnancy. Studies have shown that teenage girls are more likely to give birth to premature babies and their infants have a higher chance of dying by age one.

I find this pretty absurd even though both parties involved were minors. Talk about shitty parenting styles.

 

That's amazingly sad. That makes her 9 years old when she had sex. Do you know by any chance how old the father was?

 

Could you share the source? I have a hard time believing this...

Although I do not know the exact age, the father was under 13 years of age. Otherwise, he would have been charged with child abuse according to the Spain law. I have no doubt this would have been extremely disgusting if the father was a grown man.

I could understand if it was a third-world country, but I don't think Spain is a third-world country is it?

Disgusting. How embarrassing... I feel sorry for the baby.

I'm guessing he was 12, that seems about the right age for him to be able to produce.

That is pretty messed up, but you can't call the mother and fathers parents bad parents. If two kids are going to do something, they are going to find a way to do it. It isn't too hard to get alone with another person.

Yuck. Yuck. Yuckyuckyuckyuckyuck.

How can you even be ovulating at 9?

 

[Chewy cow]

Disgusting... My brother is 12 years older than me. That's her freaking son/daughter. When she's a senior of highschool(If she doesn't drop out) the baby would be in elementary. That's just horrible...

 

[Mr. Nice Guy]

This is quite disturbing...how the fuck would they even know what sex is...

 

[Meeder1]

Yuck. Yuck. Yuckyuckyuckyuckyuck.

I cant believe the story,

Ive never heard of anyone been so ahead of everyone else that at the age of 9 they are ovulating.

Yuck. Yuck. Yuckyuckyuckyuckyuck.

I've been hearing that girls are hitting puberty more often every few years.

This is quite disturbing...how the fuck would they even know what sex is...

Believe me, people have sexual experiences VERY early in life.

Yeah

 

[Smellex]

Holy shit,

Was the mother born in the year 2000 then..

That's shocking, the babies an adult when the mothers only 30.

I just still can't believe where this worlds gone to.. Hitting puberty so early these days.

These young ones these days.. Can't control em' selves.

Having sex at 9 years old, that's absurd! My little sister is 8, and I imagining my little sister being pregnant at such a young age is just disturbing.

 

[mr good looking man]

this is just disturbing to think about..

 

To those that refuse to believe that a girl can ovulate at the age of 9, that's about the age I got my first period.

 

[mr good looking man]

i do believe it just dont wanna believe girls are having sex at the age of 9..
