Mexican 9-year Old Girl Gives Birth - Wednesday Feb 6,2013

A Mexican girl aged nine has given birth to a girl of her own, local authorities and family members said Wednesday.

"The girl was just over eight when she got pregnant. The father is a boy who is 17, but we have not found him, since he ran away," the mother of the girl, identified only as Dafne, told local officials in Jalisco state

The baby girl was born January 27 in Zoquipan Hospital, weighing 2.7 kilos (5.7 lbs). Both girls were released from the hospital over the weekend, apparently doing well, but the hospital said it would have to do extensive followup due to the new mother's age
