11-Year-Old Girl Will Become Britain's Youngest Mother

<div><p>Britain has a situation on their hands and no one knows quite how to react. An 11-year-old girl is about to give birth to a child even though she is still very much a child herself. </p><p>The father is believed to be a boy a couple years older than her, but not many details have been made public due to local authorities imposing strict reporting restrictions (for obvious reasons). </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/pregnancy-test.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/pregnancy-test_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/pregnancy-test_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/pregnancy-test_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/pregnancy-test_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/pregnancy-test_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/pregnancy-test_GH_content_1050px.jpg 1050w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/pregnancy-test_GH_content_1150px.jpg 1150w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/pregnancy-test_GH_content_1250px.jpg 1250w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/pregnancy-test_GH_content_1350px.jpg 1350w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>The youngest parents on record at the moment was a 12-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy who had a child back in 2014. The baby is looked after by its grandmother who is only 28. </p><p>This situation is highly unusual as the rates of teenage pregnancy are at the lowest they have been in 70 years thanks to access to contraception. </p><p>We wish this girl the best and hope that she has a good group of people to help her through what must be a difficult time. </p><p></p></div>
