Ten-year-old Colombian girl gives birth

 A 10-year-old Colombian girl gave birth to a baby girl last week without any advanced care, according to a video report by Univision's Primer Impacto, making her one of the youngest mothers ever.

According to the report, she gave birth to a 51/2-pound baby. The delivery was the first time she had seen a doctor during her pregnancy.

Director of the hospital where the child was born, told RCN Radio. "At a time where they should be playing with dolls, they go to having to take care of a baby. It's shocking."

 

The age of the father is unknown, but there are varying reports from him being a 15-year-old boy to a 39-year-old man. 

 

Colombian authorities cannot press charges because the tribe has its own jurisdiction that provides the Wayuu to maintain their traditions and culture.

Lina Medina of Peru still holds the record for being the youngest mother in the world when she delivered her son, Gerado, also by C-section, when she was a five-year-old girl in 1933.
