Jan. 23, 2004 | KIEV, Ukraine (AP) -- An 11-year-old girl has given birth to a healthy baby boy, becoming Ukraine's youngest mother on record, a newspaper reported Thursday.
Surgeons at hospital No. 5 in the eastern city of Kharkiv delivered the infant by Caesarean section Tuesday, the Fakty daily said, citing the unidentified mother's doctor, Valentyn Gryshchenko.
Both are in good health, but will remain in the hospital under observation for a week. The baby weighed nearly 8 1/2 pounds.
The family of the sixth-grader refused to stop the pregnancy and ``put everything in the hands of fate,'' Gryshchenko was quoted as saying.
The boy is expected to live at home with his mother and grandmother.
The newborn's alleged father is a 26-year-old neighbor who fled fearing criminal charges when he learned of the girl's pregnancy, Fakty said. If convicted of having sexual relations with a minor, he faces a maximum prison sentence of three years.
The Guinness Book of World Records no longer keeps records of young mothers.
In 1993, an 8-year-old girl gave birth to a boy in Guadalajara, Mexico, doctors there confirmed.
Well shit

As for the 8 year old mother, how is that possible? I thought women couldn't carry children until puberty.

No they cannot, it is not entierly unknown however for girls to enter puberty at such an age, although rare.

11? Sorry, but here in the States we just shrug and shake our heads. Too damn common to get worked up about.

WTF?!

Only THREE years for knocking up a 10 year old?! Let's just hope the creep get's sex-starved Bubba for a cell mate.

My sympathy for the girl and her family outweighs my rage at the sick bastard who had sex with her.

I'm gonna assume the girl was raped... Because I honestly can't think of any 10 year old that would do that.
Maybe I just have too much faith in humanity. But ugh, that is horribly sick.

An eleven year old mother, with an eight and a half pound child? Holy mother of god, and just when I thought I'd seen everything fucked up in the world.

An eight pound baby inside of an 11 year-old girl? I can't imagine she would weigh much herself.

I know what you're saying, but it seems strange to question whether it's rape. It was an adult having sex with a child.

I don't know where you live but eleven year old moms aren't common in any part of the states I know.
A few years older, yes. But not ten year olds getting pregnant.

Evolutionarilly speaking, the human species is supposed to have children as early as possible. back when we lived in caves, 25 years old was past middle age, you'd be lucky to live to 40.

Well on the plus side, it's very good news for a boy to be heavy when born, heavy boy's tend to live longer.
It's the opposite for girls, they tend to live longer if they're lighter when they are born.
