A nine-year-old girl who gave birth to a baby in Mexico didn’t realize she was pregnant until seven months into the pregnancy, it was revealed today.
The baby girl was born on January 27 in Zoquipan Hospital, in Zapopan, Mexico’s western Jalisco state. It weighed 5.95lbs.
The mother of the girl, identified only as Dafne told local officials: ‘The girl was just over eight when she got pregnant. The father is a boy who is 17, but we have not found him, since he ran away.’
It was also revealed today that the mother of the young girl – who can’t read or write – didn’t even think that her daughter could be a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of her 17-year-old boyfriend until they turned up at the hospital.
