Daphne,a 9 year old girl from the state of Jalisco in Mexico, had a baby about a week ago. according to the hospital manager – The two were released to their home in good condition.
Daphne is a member of an 11 children family that lives in poverty, about 40 km from south Guadalajara. Her parents work many hours for a living while the children stay home along. This is why her relationship with her 17 year old boyfriend was unknown to the house members. The searches for the father continue and he will probably be charged with having sex with a minor. The state prosecutor may even go for rape or sexual abuse.
“Due to her young age, its not sure if Daphne is telling the truth yet.”, said Lino Gonzalez Corona, the spokesman of the prosecutors office in Jalisco, who received details from Daphne’s mother on the romantic relationship between her daughter and the boy.
According to Corona, The young man and Daphne were in a relationship , but the 9 year old did not understand she was pregnant until she was 7 months in. The boyfriend offered her to move in with him so they can raise the baby together, but when her mother refused – the young man decided to leave town.
The girl had a C-section operation due to the fact she is very young and her body is not anatomically ready for birth. The hospital say that last year %25 of births were from teenagers
