Unknown | Peru Peru | Lina Vanessa Medina Medina Lopez, from the Ticrapo District of Peru, gave birth by cesarean section in Lima at age 5 1⁄2. The infant was 2.64 kg (5.8 lb), 47.5 cm (18.7 in) boy, and was named Gerardo. Medina's parents, who assumed their daughter had a tumor, took her to a hospital in late March, where she was found to be 7 months pregnant. By interrogating her parents, the doctors understood that Medina had entered into precocious puberty (when hormone glands are activated earlier than normal) very early after her birth. Although Medina's father was arrested on suspicion of sexual abuse, he was later released due to lack of evidence, and the baby's biological father was never identified. Suspects included her father, her 9-year-old mentally defective brother, and a drunk villager. |

Famous quotes containing the word age:
“I have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until, perhaps, she passes into the realm of over ninety. Then it is better she be candid with herself and with the world.”
—Helena Rubinstein (1870–1965)
