    A girl of 10 has had a baby in southern Spain.

    Social workers are deciding whether to let the mother and her family retain custody of the baby, born last week in the city of Jerez de la Frontera.

    Micaela Navarro, the Andalusia region’s social affairs minister, said that the father of the baby was also a child.

    She refused to give further details, such as the sex or health of the baby.

    Spanish newspapers said the mother is of Romanian origin.

    The daily Diario de Jerez quoted medical staff who treated the girl as saying they were told by her mother that giving birth at such a young age was common in their country.

    I wonder if they're Roma, based on the "romanian origin", they marry young enough

    Shocking stuff alright. Also shocking is the fact that the age of consent in Spain is just 13!

    Wow! :confused:

    So when the Mother is 20, the Child will be 10 that's very very odd. Can't believe that is even possible.

    Couldn't give a rats about culture or anything, it's just wrong.

    Then you, sir, are worse than Hitler!

    *slap*

    It's their traditition for babies to give birth to babies. Usually it's a good luck charm if you become a grandfather before your 6th birthday. :pac:

    It is pretty twisted stuff, though.

    She could potentially be a granny by 20.

    Reminds me of this one ...

    Little Bruce And Jenny Are Only 10 Years Old
    But they know they are in love.
    One day they decide that they want to get married,
    so Bruce goes to Jenny's father to ask him for her hand.

    Bruce bravely walks up to him and says,
    'Mr. Smith, me and Jenny are in love and
    I want to ask you for her hand in marriage.'


    Thinking that this was just the cutest thing,
    Mr. Smith replies, 'Well Bruce, you are only 10.
    Where will you two live?'

    Without even taking a moment to think about it,
    Bruce replies, 'In Jenny's room.
    It's bigger than mine and we can both fit there nicely.'

    Still thinking this is just adorable,
    Mr. Smith says with a huge grin,
    'Okay then how will you live?
    You're not old enough to get a job.
    You'll need to support Jenny


    Again, Bruce instantly replies,
    'Our allowance. Jenny gets five bucks a week
    and I get 10 bucks a week.
    That's about 60 bucks a month and that should do us just fine.'

    Mr. Smith is impressed Bruce has put so much thought into this.
    'Well Bruce, it seems like you have everything figured out.
    I just have one more question.
    What will you do if the two of you
    should have little ones of your own?'



    Bruce just shrugs his shoulders and says,
    'Well, we've been lucky so far.'




    Mr. Smith no longer thinks the little sh*t is adorable.

    It's not unusual amoungst Roma's apparently. Bit like Travellers getting married very young. Irish people voting for Fianna Fail constantly & then moaning about it.
    Culture I think they call it.

    Dog/cat? What? Logic should tell you that an animal that can breed when it's two isn't going to have a five year old as the recorded youngest, no? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭scientific1982


    Yuk. That is all.

    I was wondering about that too - why should people not be curious about that ?

    Are you afraid it would reflect poorly on the roma if it is ?

    There is also a condition called precocious puberty which results in girls menstruating from as young as four or five...

    I don't know why this is so shocking, it's simple nature, I'd be more concerned how she got pregnant.....
