Girl, 11, gives birth

neither can a 12 year old boy

 

If the father's underage, then neither can he.

 

Hondo, I apologize, I misread your first post, I thought you were alleging that her father was the father.

 

I've never bought that Joseph was a carpenter though.

 

Not sure what the big deal is. It was her wedding day:

Dammit, China's kicking our ass in everything.

 

Good thing she did not live in Turkey.

 

Those quotes read like they were made up by Oscar Wilde or something.

 

You think? I would guess that the most likely parent would be an adult male related to the young girl -- most likely her own father or an uncle.

 

What's most likely is that -- if it's true at all -- got a tip or saw some document and never talked to the 11-year-old or her parents.

There is one generic quote from the grandmother -- supposedly -- and the rest is all medical stuff. Glosses right over questions about who the father is, if any charges have been filed, etc.

At least the reporter on the Bulgarian 11-year-old mom story had the grace to make up funny quotes and a good back story.

 

I can't believe that you guys have been glossing over this tidbit, which was in both stories:

To be fair, the first article reported Medina's age as six.
