I don't think parents can know what their kids are up to all the time, unless you keep them in under lock and key or make sure you are with them at all times when they are out. Difficult if they are aged 11.

13/14 I would agree with this. But at 11? I am pretty sure I will know what shes doing at that age..unless she is at school. And if this happened at school that makes it even bloody worse...

Also, surely the adults would have been able to tell she was pregnant long before it got to the giving birth stage.

If your kid wants to go to the park with their friends at 11 most parents would assume that's what they would do and be happy to let them go.
I doubt many parents would ever dream their 11 year old child was going to be sexually active at that age.
I would hope most parents would notice a change in their daughters body if she were pregnant, perhaps some changes could be put down to puberty, developing breasts etc.
I have no idea on the legal or moral issues with allowing/forcing a child to terminate a pregnancy. Total nightmare.
