Nine-year-old girl 'gives birth'
A nine-year-old Mexican girl has given birth to a girl of her own, according to local authorities and family members.
The baby girl was born on January 27 in Zoquipan Hospital, weighing 5.7lbs (file pic)
The girl, identified only as Dafne, was just over eight when she became pregnant, her mother told local officials in Jalisco state, Mexico.
The father of the baby is a boy who is 17 but he is currently missing as he has run away, the girl's mother added.
Jorge Villasenor, with the state prosecutors' office, said: "We are looking for the young man to get his story because she does not understand what has happened. This is a rape or child sex abuse case."
The baby girl was born on January 27 in Zoquipan Hospital, weighing 5.7lbs. Both girls were released from the hospital over the weekend, apparently doing well, but the hospital said it would have to do extensive follow-up due to the new mother's age.
Last year, a 10-year-old girl in Colombia gave birth to a baby girl.
The girl, from the indigenous Wayuu tribe, was 39 weeks pregnang when she appeared at a hospital in pain from contractions and bleeding. Giving birth at a young age is said to be typical of Wayuu customs.
