It might come as shocking news to some, but the youngest mother ever is a five (5) year old girl from Peru. It all happened on the 14th of May 1939. Lina Medina (in picture) gave birth to a baby boy (Gerardo who died at the age of 40 in 1979) who weighed 2.7 kg by caesarean section due to young mothers small pelvic space.
How could this be possible considering the fact that a five year olds body is not ready for bearing babies, ovulation? If true it also raises the question of child abuse and cild molestering. Her father was arrested on charges of incest and later released due to insuficient evidence. It seems that there is evidence to prove that she started menstruating at the age of three. Quiet amazing eh!
It seems that the answer for her pregnancy (apart from who molested her) lies in a small teeny tiny place just under the brain known as the pituitary gland. This small place is a very facinating organ in the human body which controls or involved in the regulation of most of the hormones in the human body.
If you suddenly feel or notices that your shoes dont fit you or become aware that your hands have grown large in size, it probably is due to a disease in this tiny place called the pituitary gland.
If you still think that this is a hoax (wich i also first thought it was), read this and go through the archives of American Newspapers and some Medical Journals where you will find that it did happen. Also, there was a similar reporting of a Russian girl in the same circumstances as Medina.
The youngest mother in Egypt
Well I could not stop myself from commenting on this , I made a promise that I will not write or comment on anything till Friday , yet it seems I will break my promise only 24 hours earlier
I won't speak in politics or conspiracy theories or anything but I will speak about the Social disaster that appeared on "El-Mahawar" Channel , the Youngest Mother in Egypt
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Hend , the youngest mother in Egypt , she is 11 years old only from the Qalyubia Governorate , the beginning of the country side north Cairo
Hend became a mother after being raped by a "Tuk-tuk" driver who threatened her to kill her in front of her school if she opened her mouth and thus she didn't opened her mouth except when she began to feel pain in her stomach after 5 months and thus she turned to be going to have a baby .
She recognized the criminal who did that to her from the police records in the police station, he turned to 21 years old with a police record , he was arrested but the D.A decided to release for a bill in waiting for the "DNA" results
Now he is free and I believe there no patrol or surveillance what so ever to make sure that he won't repeat his crime
I wonder where is the high council for woman and child headed by the first lady from such agony??
Thankfully it seems that her parents are understanding the situation because in the country side and upper Egypt the girl may be killed in what so considered a Honour killing , in fact I believe one of the factors that made the girl silent the first 5 months beside the death threat she received for her rapist was the fear of disgrace from such incident.
A kid mothering a baby ,this is terrible ,really just look to her anyhow
thank God from what I see I feel that she is taking the reasonability as a mother ,of course a single mother I can feel her family's agony and dilemma especially they are living in the country side
First of all it was too late for abortion , she was 5 month pregnant when they knew , there would be a risk for her health ,also from the religious point of view some religious men believe that women can do abortion till the third month only as the baby begins to be a human being after that , of course this is beside the view that prohibits abortion itself from the beginning.
Second of all ,usually in the country side and also in the city in fact in the Egyptian society ,the girls who are raped usually got married to hide the scandal and sometimes even from their own rapists "I don't agree at all on that way and ironically that marriage is done in the police station" !! This girl can not be married anyway because she is only 11 years and the marriage age according to the Egyptian law is 15 years old
I am just explaining what that family is suffering from agony considering our society they are living in
Here is a video for the girl ,I borrowed from "Masrawy.com" , it is in Arabic of course ,the girl describes her rape ,amazingly she is talking strong as far as she could , she described how the rapist took her in front of the youth club in the village where she was going to her brother at 2 PM , oh yes 2 PM and that he threatened her with a Swiss knife pushing her towards the fields till they reached to some old house nothing in it except a sofa where he forced her to sleep on and then he slept over her as she described ,then after taking her the most precious thing she had as it is described in Egypt ,he hit her on her back and stomach threatening her to be killed in front of her school as he knows her and knows that she goes to school at 9 AM
I am hoping that the high council of woman and child lady members had watched this episode
This rapist should be hanged in a public square

CHILD MOTHER
Ten years old Gladys Chelagat holds her baby weighing 2.8kg at Kericho District Hospital in Kenya. The former pupil of Chemamul Primary School gave birth through caeserian section.
Believe Or Not........
Omkari Panwar and her husband Charan Singh Panwar, 77, from Uttar Pradesh, North India, underwent IVF in a last-ditch attempt to produce a male heir to take over the family's smallholdings, because daughters are not allowed to inherit property in the country.
The elderly couple, who already have two daughters in their thirties, and five grandchildren, were left near destitute after mortgaging their land, selling their buffalo and taking out a loan for the £4,400 fertility treatment, and are surviving on handouts from friends.
However they were overjoyed when Mrs Panwar gave birth to twins - one a boy - in June.
There was concern for the health of the babies, who weighed just 2lbs at birth, but Mrs Panwar said they now weigh a healthy 4lbs.
Speaking as fellow villagers welcomed the jubilant pair back to their home, Mrs Panwar said: "For more than 40 years I have thought God did not think I was fit to produce a boy.
"But fate works in funny ways. It must have been meant to be that I waited all this time."
Mr Panwar said: "I've finally got what I wanted and I can die a happy man now. My wife will look after the babies when I am gone, and after she dies my other daughters will care for them. It will be an honour for them to raise their new brother."
Mrs Panwar, who saw her babies just once a week after their birth, said: "I could only just touch them lightly with my fingers. They were so tiny, they would have fit into the palm of my hand."
However she added: "We paid all this money to the doctors for a son, but now we have the extra burden of another daughter as well."
The world's previous oldest mothers were Romanian Adriana Iliescu, who gave birth to a daughter, aged 66 and 320 days in May 2005, and Spanish woman Carmela Bousada, who was 66 and 358 days old when her twins were born in December 2006.
