An 11-year-old girl has become the youngest mother in UK history, giving birth earlier this month without her family being aware of her pregnancy. Both the mother and her baby are reported to be healthy. Social services are now investigating how the pregnancy went unnoticed. This shocking event follows the previous record set by Tressa Middleton, who gave birth at age 12 in 2006. In 2014, the UK’s youngest parents were a 12-year-old mother and a 13-year-old father. Expert support is now being provided to the young mother.
