A 12 year
old girl and a 13 year old teenage boy in the UK have welcomed a child
together; a baby girl.
The bizarre
story is even more dumbfounding because the father of the girl has stated that
“No Shame in this, we’re just proud of her”.
Last
weekend, the unidentified 12-year old mom gave birth. She was pregnant at 11
while in primary school.
Today, a man
claiming to be the girl’s father called in during a live radio programme to
declare his support. Daily Mail UK reports.
“We found
out she was pregnant a month ago. That means she was eight months pregnant. The
baby is going to come into the world no matter what.
You can just
be supportive about it. The families on both sides are going to be very
supportive about it. It is heartbreaking, but you can’t turn back time. You can
only go forwards.
We don’t
know where it happened. What you’re implying is that we knew they were having
sexual intercourse in bedrooms. No. We cannot keep her wrapped up her whole
life.” he said.
“The
couple’s” story appears in the new issue of The
Sun. Although their faces are blurred due to legal reasons
(they’re minors), they are seen holding the child together.
The mother
of the 12-year, was also a teenage mother. At 27, she is now one of the
youngest grandmothers in Britain.
To show
support, the girl’s father says “I can’t keep a watch on her 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. You don’t know what has gone on and once the mistake has
been made, you can only support them.”
The 12 year
old girl has a 3-year old sister and a 9-year old brother.
Their
combined ages make them the youngest recorded parents in Britain.
