MADRID – A Spanish official says a 10-year-old girl living in the south of the country has given birth.


Micaela Navarro, the Andalusia region's social affairs minister, says authorities are evaluating whether to let the mother and her family retain custody of the baby, born last week in the city of Jerez de la Frontera.


Navarro told reporters that the father of the baby is also a minor. Her department declined to give further details, such as the sex or health of the baby.


Spanish newspapers said the mother is of Romanian origin. The daily Diario de Jerez quoted medical staffers who treated the girl as saying they were told by her mother that giving birth at such a young age is common in their country.

    let her keep the kid but monitor them I would like to know how old the father is it just says he's also a minor here 17 is a minor and this is just a sick quote - The daily Diario de Jerez quoted medical staffers who treated the girl as saying they were told by her mother that giving birth at such a young age is common in their country.- I think someone need to question the government about the COMMON things that go on in that country

    This is sickening. And what the hell are they allowing their children to do where having a child while still so young is common??

    Bulgaria is close behind, yes she is a Jippo (Jypsy) An 11-year old girl in Bulgaria has given birth to a baby girl after going into labour on her wedding day.

    Kordeza Zhelyazkova became pregnant shortly after her 10th birthday and was all set to marry boyfriend Jeliazko Dimitrov when she went into labour during her wedding.

    The bride-to-be was still wearing her wedding dress and tiara when she arrived at hospital to give birth to daughter Violeta.

    She told Britain’s News of the World tabloid: “I’m not going to play with toys any more – I have a new toy now.”

    Zhelyazkova, thought to be the world’s youngest mother, admitted that she had not known about sex education or even how to get pregnant. She presumed she was putting on weight from eating too many burgers. It was her grandmother who guessed she was pregnant.

    Zhelyazkova’s 19-year-old husband is now facing up to six years in jail for having sex with a minor.

    She is very young for her body to support the strain of pregnancy and child birth. It is a shame that people do not advise a young lady of the risks of pregnancy even when they are that young. Some people think that because of their age, they are not being active, when they have developed bodies, some guy may still try to get at them, and they do not know the risks.

    Eh it's a cultural thing. If she has her mother and maybe older sisters or aunts to help out, she should be allowed to keep the baby in the family....she wouldn't be the one raising it though.

    There was a ten-year-old female, last year, in Rexburg, Idaho who was impregnated through repeated molestation by her mother's "boyfriend", an illegal immigrant. As the subject both nauseates AND infuriates me, I will provide the link below only for verification purposes, but a search of the Internet using the proper key words should bear out my statement beyond simply the link I will note. Frankly, I was COMPLETELY unaware that children of that young an age were even CAPABLE of being impregnated.

    I heard of children having babies a lot. Kids are having sex earlier and earlier.

    Is not that their having sex earlier, it;s that too many children are being abused. At ten or nine your are thinking in playing not in sex at least girls.... They're victims of incest and/or pedophiles

    That's true too but i've actually met younger kids that actually wants to have sex. That's because they're parents are no good though.

    It's true too, those kids that think about having sex so young it's because their parent don't take care of them.. And they are surrounded by sex things like music, TV etc..

    AGREE completely!

    The "father" in the Rexburg, Idaho case was mid-thirties, and "suffering" from an "affliction" which I--and probably most of the men in my state!--would be VERY happy to "treat"; using a sharp--or maybe not-so-sharp--knife! Depravity is NOT an illness! As long as it is "treated" as such, it WILL continue! Simply because someone is so morally degenerated as to commit acts such as child-molestation and/or incest does NOT qualify him to be excused as being "sick"!

    At some level this is child abuse fueled by ignorance. And the liberal elite tell us Spain is so enlightened.

    I can't imagine how a girl of 10 years deals with the psychological strain of pregnancy and birth, not to mention child rearing. Blows my mind.

    I hadn't even hit puberty at 10 years old. I feel sorry for children this young that are having children themselves. You know it can't be good for the mother or child.

    You all have to remember, it's not the United States. Most of us are aware of things much younger here. We also try to keep a better eye on our youngsters. These were kids? I'm kind of doubting the boy was also 10, but they gave no age, and said he was young.

    It's merely the will of God! That's why God starts puberty at the age He does! BEHOLD!!
