So I saw a headline today about a 10 year old that gave birth, which made me shudder, when I noticed a related article about the "World's Youngest Mother" at
five years old. 
Quote:
Lina Medina, the youngest mother who gave birth to a baby boy at the age of five. When her stomach was getting bigger and bigger, her parents thought that their daughter had an abdominal tumor. They were so worried until they carried her immediately to a hospital. After careful examination, the doctors told them that the swelling was, in fact, not a tumor. All of them, including the doctors, were shocked after they found out Medina was actually seven months pregnant.
When doctors performed the caesarean process, they discovered that the five-year-old Medina already had fully mature sexual organs from precocious puberty. She got her very first period when she was around 8 months, this little girl also had breast and pubic hair, she was in puberty at the age of four.
Medina?s father was arrested on suspicion of rape and incest, he was released after they found not enough evidence and unfortunately, the authorities couldnt determine who actually fathered Lina?s child.
Medina?s first child was named Gerardo who born on Mother?s Day ? 14 May 1939. The son weighed 2.7 kg at birth and both the son and the mother were able to go home from the clinic after only a few days. Gerardo (named after her doctor) thought that Medina was his big sister until he turned 10. Gerardo grew up healthy but at the age of 40 he died because of a bone marrow disease. Lina married to Raul Jurado and had her second child in 1972 (when she was 38 years old).
