This young Mexican girl is practically a child herself, but she just gave birth to a baby boy!
Most 10-year-old girls are still playing with dolls, but not this girl! After 31 weeks of pregnancy, a 10-year-old gave birth to a 3.3 pound premature infant — and she’s even breastfeeding!
According to NY Daily News, the baby was born by Caesarian at the Women’s Hospital in the city of Puebla, and now he’s in intensive care because of pneumonia. But his mother visits everyday to breastfeed!
The Puebla Attorney General’s Office is investigating whether or not the girl was raped, according to the hospital’s director Rogelio Gonzalez. The circumstances are definitely strange: Mexican law states young moms can’t have abortions unless they prove they were the victim of sexual assault.
Still, this girl was too young to have a child, even in the state’s eyes: The minimum age of consent in her state is 12-years-old (which is STILL to young if you ask us!).
The girl hasn’t been named, but reports say she and the baby are both in good condition.
Shocking! 10 years old is TOO young to have a child! What do you think?

I had my first child at 14 he died 13 minutes after birth. At 16 I had my first miscarriage. 8 months later i had my second miscarriage. Then at 17 I got pregnant with triplets. All 3 of them were in great condition. At the age of 46 I became pregnant again. Shocked I contacted a hospital. I was already 12 weeks pregnant. This time I was told i was having twins. At 28 weeks my water broke. my 1st baby was breach and died 2 minutes after birth my second baby was tiny, but mostly healthy. I never got back in shape, my body was in bad condition . And at 49 my water suddenly broke. I screamed and called 911. Alone in the ER I was told i was 48 weeks pregnant with triplets. That was the most painful birth I have had so far, but all of the babies were okay. I had 15 stitches. After that at 51 I got pregnant. I got an abortion. Almost a year later, 6 days after i turned 53 I found out I was pregnant again. This time with only 1 baby. Just over 8 months later i gave birth to a healthy 8.4 pound baby. At 54 I became pregnant and had my last miscarriage, thus far. I am now 57 and pregnant again. I am about to pop! I am 46 weeks pregnant with healthy twins. Thus far I have had 19 pregnancies, 3 miscarriages, 6 lost babies,and 8 beautiful children(and counting)
