Hold the phone!

*Update*

Girl in question appears to be either twelve or thirteen years old, and the father of her child is *not* her 17 year old BF but the step-father aged forty-four.

^ Still the "norm" in abnormal cases...still not right either

Still doesn't erase the fact that this is happening to future women across the globe.

Sad. I've worked in OB for several years, including a large metropolitan hospital, and the youngest I've ever personally seen is 13.

Good lord. I can understand, if you don't have a birth certificate for the child, maybe not remembering her exact birthdate. But to be off by 3-4 YEARS? "Uh, I dunno, I think she's around 9." To what benefit would the parents lie about the child's age, making her YOUNGER?

Frequently when younger girls are impregnated its someone close to/in the home. Unfortunately, it happens here too, more often than you'd think.

Pregnant at age 5

Eh, personally I don't see a problem with vigilante justice for a d-bag who got a child pregnant...

For those that think this sort of thing does not go on in the United States we now have this sad story:
