Claim: The youngest mother on record was a five-year-old Peruvian girl.
**Status: True. **
Regardless of our squeamishness, we have to note that the claim of a five-year-old girl giving birth is apparently true. Her name was Lina Medina, a Peruvian girl from the Andean village of Ticrapo who made medical history when she gave birth to a boy by caesarean section in May 1939 at the age of five years, seven months and 21 days.
So we need no sex to have babies? Boy.. is that revolutionary!
Okay! on a serious note, the article states that the little girl had the ovaries of a fully mature woman enabling her to get pregnant. She had her first periods at the age of THREE!! I would like to know who the father was, probably another weirdo like her.
omg - I would have had a casterated man hanging upside down disembowled outside my hut if this happened to my 5 yr old. How sick. How is she taking care of a baby when she is one?
Lajawab - How many 5 yr olds do you know? Did you have any of your own? She is either very afraid or was lead to believe that this was a secret by an adult, more often or not the one's who a child protects this much are the one's they love the most - brothers or fathers and sometimes Uncles or Grandfathers. Children do not protect strangers that way, there is no bond. I think it is a matter of concern that she is not telling.
A typical ploy of a pedophile (anyone who has sex with children). She is a child with a child's thinking. Next time you see a five year old, watch them for a bit.
I am surprised in a highly superstitious infuzed catholicism praticed in South America....this poor girl was not elevated to the status of the virgin marry...
