A Mexican girl has become a mother at the age of just 10, according to reports.
The youngster arrived at a hospital in the city of Puebla, suffering from life-threatening complications in her 31-week pregnancy, including seizures.
She gave birth by Caesarean section to a boy weighing 3.3lb at the Women’s Hospital in the city, 60 miles south-east of Mexico City. Her premature son is now said to be in intensive care following a bout of pneumonia, but officials said his young mother visits the baby every day to breastfeed, according to the New York Daily News.

They are ably assisted in this new project by Simon Brown, a journalist who has written in this area for many years and is renowned for his insider knowledge.
