What is the youngest mom you have actually seen in person?

I see case studies of eight year olds, but the youngest I have had as a patient was 12 and have been on the floor when there was a nine year old.

Anybody actually have seen younger than that in person?

There was an 11 year old at the University of San Diego a couple years ago. I am told that wasn't the only 11 y.o. they've had, but she was the only one I saw. It was very sad, the social worker asked her what she'd like for a Christmas gift from the auxiliary that arranged to deliver presents. This girl wanted a doll. Not for the baby, for herself.

edited this post since I re-read it and saw that you were asking if we'd seen a patient younger than 9. No, I haven't. I hope I never do!
