According to media reports, a girl as young as twelve gave birth to a healthy boy in the northern region of Cantabria. The family had not noticed anything about the pregnancy until the beginning of the delivery, reported this Friday the newspaper “El País” and numerous other media, citing the authorities. The social welfare office that served the family emphasized that nothing indicated that the twelve-year-old was pregnant. Nobody noticed anything at school either.
The father is 17 years old
While the girl suddenly went into labor pains at home on Sunday, the girl’s mother quickly alerted an ambulance. When the paramedics arrived, the child had already been born and all they had to do was cut the umbilical cord and take the young mother and her baby to the hospital. Both are fine.
The family, whose residence and identity are kept secret, now want to put the child up for adoption. The father is a 17-year-old from the family. The Prosecutor’s Office has announced an investigation into whether the pregnancy was the result of sexual assault.
