This makes me so sad. What's even worse is that she is not the youngest to have given birth. Ugh. I hate the world sometimes.

We had a few 9-10 year olds give birth in my old town. It's sad.

A 9-year-old Mexican girl, under the reported name of Dafne, gave birth to a baby girl on Jan. 27, 2013 in Jalisco, Mexico.

Both mother child and child are at home and healthy, Dr. Enrique Rabago, director of Zoquipan Hospital, said at a press conference this morning.

Fixed that.  Now I'm just going to go cry in a corner...

How sad.

[lime]

Christ, that is depressing.

[agnes]

Very sad.

I had an old coworker that was from Mexico. She was married at 12 and gave birth to her first child at 13. Her husband is considerably older than her too. She became a grandmother at 30.

We had a girl that was 13, her parents approved her dating a 26 year-old guy. She got pregnant, they had to go to court to get a court order to be able to get married. The court approved it. They were married about 15 years or so and then divorced.

This is so sad.

That is so sad. That poor little girl.

This is so so sad. I just have this picture in my head of a tiny little nine year old carrying a newborn that she isn't really big enough to hold.

and the stories of people getting married at 12 or 13, ugh

[julesf84]

this is heartbreaking. I can't even imagine.

Sweet Jesus.

My God! How incredibly sad.

I don't think I even knew about sex or anything of the sort at that age.

[stinkyfeet]

Good lord! That is heartbreaking!

[sonrisa]

She's nine at the birth so probably 8 when she got pregnant.

I won't even let my 9yr old sister hold my newborn without an adult sitting next to her.

Omg. Those poor children. Both mom and baby. My hormonal ass should not have read this.
