An 11-year-old girl has made history as the youngest mother in the UK, giving birth earlier this month without her family knowing she was pregnant. Both the mother and baby are reported to be healthy.
Shocking Discovery
Social services are investigating how the pregnancy went unnoticed. A source shared, “It has come as a big shock. She’s now being surrounded by expert help. The main thing is that she and the baby are OK.”
Breaking Previous Records
The previous record was held by Tressa Middleton, who gave birth at 12 in 2006. In 2014, the youngest parents in the UK were a 12-year-old mother and a 13-year-old father.
Ongoing Investigation
Authorities are looking into how such a young pregnancy could occur without detection, and support services have been put in place for both the mother and child.
