10 Year Old Colombian Girl Gives Birth to Baby Daughter

10 Year Old Colombian Girl Gives Birth to Baby Daughter

A 10-year-old Colombian girl has sparked outrage after becoming one of the world's youngest ever mothers by giving birth to a healthy daughter. A 10-year-old Colombian girl from the indigenous Wayuu tribe recently gave birth via C-Section to a baby after 39 weeks of pregnancy, Univision’s Primer Impacto reports. Although the baby was definitely full-term, the baby girl only weighed 5 pounds at birth.
According to Colombian law, the father of the baby can be prosecuted for having sex with a child, but because the girl was from the indigenous Wayuu tribe, which is lawfully separated from Colombian, nothing will probably happen to the father. In fact, cases of young pregnancy are common in the tribe. Adults in the tribe had been keeping the pregnancy a secret, and right now the identity of the girl and the father of the baby are unknown.
