A 12 year and three months old girl and her 13-year-old boyfriend have become Britain’s youngest parents, it emerged last night.
The mum was just ten years old when she met the dad and
was still at primary school when she fell pregnant.
The young couple, from north London, celebrated the birth of
their baby daughter at the weekend and have vowed to stay
together as a family.
The girl is five months younger than the UK’s previous
youngest mum while her mother becomes one of the UK’s
youngest-ever grans at the age of 27.
The baby’s mum and dad have been in
a relationship for more than a year, so this isn’t a fleeting
romance. They intend to stick together and bring their
daughter up together.
“Both sets of grandparents are incredibly supportive. It’s a
very difficult situation because the parents are both so young but their families are right behind them.”
The UK’s previous youngest mum Tressa Middleton gave birth
in Edinburgh aged 12 years eight months in 2006.
The world’s youngest mum was Lina Medina from Ticrapo,
Peru, who gave birth to son Gerardo when she was just five
years and seven months in 1939.
