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
today.
At 27, the girl's mother, who was a
teenage mother herself, is also now one of Britain's youngest grandmothers.
