The 11-year-old girl gave birth to a healthy daughter – allegedly fathered by her step-dad – after she was denied an abortion by Paraguayan authorities.
11-year-old girl, who according to authorities was raped by her stepfather, gave birth to a healthy baby girl Thursday morning in Asunción, Paraguay. The baby was born by C-section and weighed 3 kilograms (about 6.6 pounds). Villalba said both the baby and her mother “are in good health condition.” He also said doctors are monitoring them closely. They are expected to be released within three days if no complications arise. The case shocked Paraguayans when it came to light in May. At the time the girl was 10 years old and 22 weeks pregnant. Authorities immediately arrested the girl’s mother. The woman, who according to reports is 32 years old, was charged with child neglect and complicity.
