A 12-year-old girl has given birth to her
13-year-old boyfriend's baby - making
them Britain's youngest parents, it was
revealed today.
The girl, who cannot be named for legal
reasons, had a daughter last weekend after
conceiving when she was still at primary
school.
She was 11 then, and is now in Year 7 at
school. Her boyfriend, who also cannot be
named, is in Year 9 at another school.
The pair have the lowest combined age of
any British parents on record. She, at 12
years and three months, is five months
younger than the UK's previous youngest
mother, Tressa Middleton.
Their child weighed 7lb, which is close to
the UK average for a girl of 7lb 4oz, The Sun
reported.
