11 year old girl gives birth in USA

An 11-year-old girl in the Northeast of USA recently gave birth to a baby boy.
The girl’s mother stated that her daughter and baby are fine and baby is very beautiful.
The girl and her family are not being named in order to protect the girl’s privacy.
According to Dr. Manny Alvarez, managing health editor of FoxNews.com,said that the girl’s age places her in significant dangers and a
very comprehensive approach to her care needs to be instituted early in her pregnancy.
This case is not about a teenager,this is about a child girl who gives birth to a baby. Dr. Abdulla Al-Khan, a leading high-risk obstetrician noted; it’s about a pre-teen, or child, who’s body is not built to carry a child yet.
"Her body is clearly not defined for pregnancy with its short stature," Al-Khan said. "Her chest is not extensively developed for breast tissue, her bones aren’t quite fused, and once you expose a child this young to high amounts of progesterone and especially estrogen, there is controversy that it could halt her growth."
