Girl gave birth while being treated for stomach pain; father, detained

​​In Argentina, a 12-year-old girl went to the Mosconi General Hospital, in the province of Salta, because she had severe stomach pain. Her youngest, who was accompanied by her mother, was surprised that she was giving birth.
Upon examination, doctors confirmed that she was heavily pregnant and was in labor.

The girl, who had allegedly been the victim of repeated sexual abuse by her father, confessed that she did not know she was pregnant.

According to the statements of Carolina Serrano, director of the hospital, to the national media ‘Cadena 3’, the baby was born premature at 34 weeks and was a 2.7 kilo girl, who had to be transferred to another hospital because she needed neonatal services.
