12-year-old Australian girl gives birth to boy

Monday 9th November, 2009 (IANS)
An Australian girl has become a mother - at age 12.
The girl delivered a boy in her hometown in New South Wales, the website of Woman's Day reported Monday.
When the girl told her father that she was pregnant, they clung together and wept.
The pre-teen has become one of the youngest mothers in the country after giving birth last month.
'She is only a baby herself and now she's got a baby,' the girl's father told Woman's Day in an exclusive interview.
'She hasn't got any maternal instincts at all. She never even played with dolls when she was younger. She never played at being a mummy. This breaks my heart,' he was quoted as saying.
He is also worried about the physical impact the birth has had on his daughter and says that his daughter had an emergency caesarean.
'It was early,' he says, adding: 'They had to perform an emergency caesarean because she had high blood pressure. She was petrified but came through OK.'  Email this story to a friend

the father can’t be blamed for this one, as the child in question was living with her mother at the time, it was her mother who showed the poor judgement of allowing her 11 year old daughter to sleep in the same bed as her 15 year old boyfriend.
her father complained to DOCS but they ignored him until they had an 11 year old (at the time) pregnant child on their collective hands.
thus it is DOCS and the mother whom have shown great negligence towards a child who should still be in the playground with her friends playing hop scotch, has now lost her childhood because her mother couldn’t say no, and DOCS ingnores fathers in favor of the mother.
when i was 12 years of age i was on roller skates and playing with barbies.
