World's Youngest Mother.

The world's youngest mother gave birth at the age of five - yes, FIVE!

Regardless of our squeamishness, we have to note that the claim of a five-year-old girl giving birth is apparently true. Her name was Lina Medina, a Peruvian girl from the Andean village of Ticrapo who made medical history when she gave birth to a boy by caesarean section in May 1939 at the age of five years, seven months and 21 days. Lina's parents initially thought their daughter had a large abdominal tumor, but after they took her to a hospital in the town of Pisco physicians confirmed that her abdominal swelling was due to pregnancy. Lina was eventually transferred to a hospital in Lima, where she delivered a six-pound baby boy by Cesarean section on 14 May 1939 (coincidentally the date on which Mother's Day was celebrated that year). Lina's father was temporarily jailed on suspicion of incest, but he was released for a lack of evidence and authorities were never able to determine who fathered Lina's child.

Aliens can get everything right except for the eyes - lack of souls - so they wear glasses with the eyes painted on.
Obviously, an early case of extraterrestrial experimentation in breeding alien/human hybrids to operate their massive war machines in outer space.

I was reading something on another website and it said the baby died at age 40 of a bone marow disease and the mother is still alive and has had another child (at the apropriate age).

What a total load of shit! For one thing this young girl would have needed to have been of ovulating age. She would have needed of have gone thru puberty - the phaise we go thru between the ages of roughly 11-17 (may vary) in order to become parents. Unless she was ovulating at the age of 5 (highly unlikely) then what a heap of crap!

yeah, its real, ive seen the story all over the place for years in newspapers and magazines. its even in wikipedia. she began having her period at age 8 months and had fully developed breasts at age 4. tho i would really think she would be a little taller, having gone thru puberty so early. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Medina (the pictures in this article are for medical documentation)

the people who are saying this is a hoax are wrong - please no one say that again. this is true - i know a lot about this case, she is the youngest mother in history. there is documented proof and it is regarded worldwide as being true. there have been other cases of children being able to have babies, like a 6 year old russian. she did indeed start having her period at 8 months and had fully developed breasts at the time she gave birth to her son. her son died at age 40 due to bone marrow complications, and she had another son about 30 years later and she now lives with her husband.

If this is true?? the weird doctor standing next to the girl should have done his job properly and found out who the father was!!! I know of other cases the doctors in the 1930's would call the police if a minor was pregnant.

What are they gunna do? Go out and dna test everyone in town. If she doesn't tell them who did it they can't really do anything, and the father was temporarily jailed as a suspect but the later released. They did what they could.

WTF, i donĀ“t think so, i mean, the body of a child is not prepare to have a baby so i think that is impossible, but who know, probably the aliens did that

This story is true, I'm from Peru so I'm well aware of this story. She's from a very poor area of Peru, thus why they had to take her to Pisco and then eventually to Lima where she could get the appropriate treatment. Unfortunately it is not very unusual for incest rape cases to occur in the really poor areas of Peru. The last time she refused an interview was in 2002, I believe someone in her family abused her and out of fear and shame she has not revealed the name of the father until this day. Her first son died at age 40 and I believe she had her second child when she was 18.

She actually had her second child when she was in her 30's, she developed quite fast, she already had breasts and had her period by the age of 4, her monther would tell her to go wash herself in the river whenever she got her period. Some vodoo doctors from her village told her she had a snake in her stomach and they performed a whole bunch of unsuccessful rituals on her. Her father was arrested bc everyone thought he raped her, he was put in a dungeon for a few days but was released for lack of evidence. I think she had a brother who had a bit of brain problems (was retarted) and I think he also spent some time in jail for suspicion of rape.

If anyone gets a doctor today that looks like that then its a sign they got one bad HMO. He reminds me of Dr. Mengele ! Another experiment gone horriably wrong.

actually if you look it up she started menstruating at 8 months old and if you look on google images she had puberty hair and boobs in the picture at 5 years old and in the picture above u can see that she has boobs in that dress. But just look her story up and stop being so indenial

Maybe because her mom birth twins but the another twins when maybe 1-3 months entering the 1st child womb so when 5-years old she gave birth, it's happen too in Indonesia.

May be there is other side of this history that you have not notice, may be...

...well, think again, ask your self posible (and) logical hipotesis...

Child abuse?

Aliens?

Retarded siblin?

A weird case of twins?

Same history of the Virgin Mary?

Well, in any case, the real thing is out there,
to know the true history you need to have true interest.

Sorry if I have mistakes in my words, I am REALY tired.

(I SPEACK SPANISH ENGLISH, AND A KNOW A FEW OTHER LANGUAGES.)

SO, LAST QUESTION: The name of the other child she have, eny one knows? (LIKE TO KNOW)

And to make you think a little, there is a condition that causes female to have sons that not need a father is called Parthenogenesis, so wiki-it. (Search it in Wikipedia)

After you reed about IT, let me tell you, eseptions may be...

she didn't gave birth "naturally" (vaginal birth), she got the baby through cesarea, and she had precocious puberty, menstruating before she got 1 year, and she got fully developed reproductive function so there was possible for her to get pregnant, now how she got pregnant is the mistery, most likely a rape, child at the age of 5 are not concious bout what they doing. sad but true.

Of course this is true. Quit trying to show off by saying that it isn't. You must also all not believe one woman gave birth to about 78 children too either, eh? [not sure of the name, in records book]

Gerardo died at the age of 40 in 1979 from bone marrow disease. There is no evidence of the disease having anything to do with the fact that his mother had been so young when she had him.
