The girl, identified as Dafne, gave birth by Cesarean section to a baby girl weighing 2.7kg and measuring 50cm on Jan. 27 in a hospital in the western state of Jalisco. The girl was not seen by doctors during her pregnancy and was almost in labor when she arrived at the hospital, said Enrique Rabago, director of the Occidente General Hospital where the child gave birth in the town of Zapopan. It is dismaying that a young girl became pregnant. You shouldnt be pregnant at this age, Rabago told a news conference. A Caesarean section was carried out because it was safer for the mother and baby, he said. The two were released in good condition and they will have an extensive follow-up in the coming days due to the mothers age.
The hospital notified the authorities of the birth. Sources in the Jalisco state prosecutors office said that the girl declared that she had consensual sex. The girl and the teenager were a couple, the source said. The boy offered that the girl live with him when he found out she was pregnant, but she refused. However, Jorge Villasenor, an official at the prosecutors office, described the encounter as a case of rape or child abuse. We are looking for the young man to get his story because she does not understand what has happened. This is a rape or child sex abuse case, he said on Tuesday.
Dafnes mother said the girl was eight when she became pregnant. The father is 17, but we have not found him, since he ran away, the mother told reporters. A source close to the investigation said Dafne comes from a large family in Ixtlahuacan de los Membrillos, a village about 30km from Guadalajara. There are 11 siblings. Apparently their parents are separated and there was little care by the mother with so many children, the source said.
Each year, 480,000 girls between the ages of 14 and 18 give birth in Mexico, according to the health ministry. There are pregnancies among teenagers, but girls between 10 and 12 years old are exceptions and most of the time it is due to a rape, said Antonio Flores Villalon, a reproductive health specialist in Mexico City. Girls are still growing at that age. They are physically immature, and this puts them at higher risk, he said. This is the case for all minors who are under 18, but when they are under 15, the risks increase.

Age of Consent in Mexico is 12. You think that may be part of the problem?Each year, 480,000 girls between the ages of 14 and 18 give birth in Mexico, according to the health ministry.
She should never have been allowed to remain pregnant. Why didn't her mother take her to have an abortion as soon as she realised her daughter was pregnant? The child could have died from this pregnancy!
3rd world shit like that will be here before too long.. Thank you amnesty!

Fri, Feb 08, 2013 - A nine-year-old Mexican girl has given birth and authorities are looking for the presumed father, who is 17, officials said on Wednesday.

Mexico's population: When the niños run out | The Economist
The average now is just over twoalmost the same as in the United States. The UN reckons that from 2040 the birth rate in Mexico will be the lower of the two.
The fall follows a government u-turn nearly 40 years ago, when a contraception campaign replaced the previous nation-building policy. Today, four out of ten married Mexican women are sterilised, a radical measure that partly reflects the continuing lack of other contraception in some areas as well as strict laws against abortion everywhere but the capital. Broader changes, such as more women in education and work, and pricier housing, have pushed down the size of families even more. (Brazil, where the government has promoted contraception less forcefully, has experienced a similar baby bust.)

Because it isn't wrong there. It's not wrong to them when they come here either.
did her family then kill her?
This situation is being treated as a child sex case or rape. The girl was underage as has been noted. The age of consent is 12.
