This is so shocking and so hard to believe but its’s so true. 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.
