<b>CHILD MOTHER Harrowing story of youngest mum EVER who was just 5 & had to have a c-section as she was too small to give birth</b><br><br><blockquote>Most five-years-old don't have a care in the world, but that wasn't the case for Lina Medina - the girl from a remote mountain village in Peru who is the youngest mother in recorded human history.<br><br>In 1933, Lina's mother noticed her growing stomach after she complained about being in pain.<br><br>Doctors initially feared the large bump was a tumour but soon realised the five-year-old child was seven-months-pregnant.<br><br>It soon emerged that Lina had mature sexual organs and suffered from a condition called precocious puberty.<br><br>Her mum reportedly noticed her daughter started having periods aged three and her breasts were nearly full developed by the age of four.<br><br>Another medical report from Peru said the child started menstruating at just eight-months-old, which conflicts with the mother's claims.<br><br>On May 14, 1939, she gave birth to a baby boy via caesaerean as her young pelvis was deemed to small for a natural birth.<br><br>Her baby was born a healthy 6lbs and was named Gerardo in honour of the doctor who delivered him.<br><br>It has never been revealed who raped Lina, Her father was arrested after the birth but was released due to lack of evidence.<br><br>Studies have shown that girls who are sexually abused may go through puberty faster than others and that precocious puberty may be accelerated by such abuse.<br><br>Doctors said the child was impregnated when she was aged just four.<br><br>Dr Edmundo Escomel, who wrote about the case in a medical journal, said Lina couldnt give precise responses when asked about the baby's father.<br><br>Due to her young age, it is possible that the five-year-old did not know who impregnated her.<br><br>Her father Tiburelo, who worked as a silversmith, always strongly denied that he raped his daughter.<br><br>Lina was one of nine kids born to the family in Ticrapo, a village in the Andes which sits at an altitude of 7,400 feet in Perus poorest province.<br><br>Growing up, Gerardo believed Lina was his sister but was told the truth aged 10.<br><br>Tragically, he died aged 40 in 1979 after suffering from a bone disease.<br><br>Is it unclear if Lina, who would be 88-years-old now, is still alive as she always shunned publicity and refused to talk about what happened even refusing big money offers for interviews.<br><br>She married husband Raul in the 1970s, later giving birth to her second son aged 39.<br><br>In 2002, when Lina was approached by Reuters for an interview, the couple lived in a cramped house in a crime-ridden area of capital Lima known as Little Chicago.<br><br>Her case has often been thought of as a hoax, but medics say they have x-rays and biopsies that prove she really was pregnant.<br></blockquote><br>Source: <a rel=ugc href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/16552270/youngest-mum-ever-lina-medina-peru/">https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/16552270/youngest-mum-ever-lina-medina-peru/</a>
