A 10-Year-Old Girl Has Reportedly Given Birth in Spain
The Associated Press reports that the girl gave birth last week in Jerez de la Frontera, and now officials are deciding whether she and her family should be allowed to keep the baby.
The mother and the father of the baby have not been named, but the father is also reportedly a minor. Mother and baby are said to be healthy, but the sex of the baby has also not been disclosed.
The mother is of Romanian descent, and medical experts are concerned that she may be at a high risk even after giving birth because her body is still growing as well.
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.
No other details have been released.

Thing is, the legal age for the sexual intercourse in Spain is 13, but in Romania is 15, so there is a problem there...
But most important of all is that she's a child, and should live like such, but instead, their culture treats them as if they were grown up women... total mistake.
