Mara truly speaking, if there wasnt any law in that country...i dont see anything wrong this, im 30 and would it be wrong if i dated a 35 yr old? No...so these kids have a 5 yr difference. Although i deem it wrong for such a young girl to experience motherhood hona Tje..osa le monnyane.

I can't relate this filthy doll to the story, why did it have to be dirty and on a dirty surrounding. Shocking and scary if I had a girl I would put a loop when she turned 10 yrs and take it out when she starts working.

This is a sad story. Government should help this kid to raise her kid. In a typical tribal setting of the Indians, in the jungle, the 2 kids may even develop other complications e.g infections

It is biologically possible. Its called precocious puberty. Rare but it happens, normally due to a trauma that upsets the hormonal balance

@MORNACHIESS,...mogeso ga ke kgone go bolela maaka, this story sa a 10 year old i got it 2 days ago. and the report was that this does not make her the youngest mom. I know it sounds weird but its true. I believe science has messed up with its food preservation, genetic modification and other science research that was trying to fight population growth forgeting that Robert Malthus said that positive checks will make sure popuplation does not grow beyond unmanageable. here is the information regarding the youngest mom:

Ahh oui, vous avez raison. C'est dommage que une fille agee 10 ans tombe enciente. Sans doute, il y a bcp des risques pour la sante de la juene fille.
