A TEN-year-old girl has become one of the world's youngest mums.
She gave birth to a 6.3lb baby in a hospital in Spain.
The father is also a youngster - though his age is being kept secret.
Shocked officials are deciding if the girl and her family can keep the baby. Her mum apparently told hospital staff in the city of Jerez de la Frontera that her daughter "lived with her boyfriend" in their native Romania. She claimed that giving birth at such a young age was common in their country.
A hospital source said: "Girls can appear older than they are, but in this case the girl is just a girl." The region's social affairs minister Micaela Navarro refused to reveal the sex or health of the baby. She said: "The important thing is that mother and baby are cared for."
The world's youngest mum, Lina Medina from Peru, gave birth at FIVE years, seven months and 21 days in 1939. Britain's youngest mum, Tressa Middleton, had a girl at 12 in 2006 in West Lothian.
