Actually, there were (I think) several cases of 8-10 year olds recently, though I don't know how many of the offspring survived, just saw the story and went my usual "meh" then forgot about it.
Those are isolated cases, if I'm not mistaken, and not in line with the general trend. The youngest recorded mother in history is Lina Medina, who gave birth at five years of age (though she began menstruating when she was less than a year old), but I believe the average age of menarche remains about 12.5...though that might be for whites. Blacks and Latinas experience earlier menarche.
