In 2006, Tressa Middleton became Britain’s youngest mother after her 16-year-old brother, Jason, raped her. She was only 11-years-old at the time but recently told the hosts of This Morning about the life-changing experience. She said, “Soon after I began noticing changes in my body. I eventually did a pregnancy test and it came up I was pregnant. I was too scared to tell my mum, so I told my aunt and then ran away. Mum was furious but she calmed down eventually.”
However, Middleton didn’t tell anyone about the rape; instead, she said the pregnancy was a result of consensual sex she had with another teenager. She did this to protect her mother but later shared the truth about her pregnancy.
Tragically, as a result, when she was 14-years-old she was forced to place her child for adoption.
She said, “I know it’s going to be hard for her to find out her uncle is actually her dad. I hope she doesn’t blame me for staying quiet.” She added, “If anything like this happened to you as a young girl you must speak out.”
According to the Daily Mail, Middleton recently reached out to the youngest parents currently in Britain and offered her support. She said, “I send her my warmest congratulations but it will be incredibly tough. At that age you’re so worried about what other people think at school. I had people throwing things at me with the baby in the buggy. And the bullies taunting you in the playground – that’s the worst.” The new mom in Britain is 11-years old and her boyfriend is 13.
As LifeNews previously reported, there have been two stories in the news about young girls becoming pregnant after rape; and one of those girls is in Uruguay and is adamantly refusing abortion. The 11-year-old girl has an intellectual disability and was raped by the 41-year-old grandfather of her half-sister.

Thankfully, in Uruguay abortion is illegal after 12-weeks and the girl is currently 16-weeks pregnant. However, medical documents reveal that the girl doesn’t understand the “consequences of pregnancy and motherhood” and one group in the country mentioned that abortion may be a possibility.
The director of Uruguay’s Child and Adolescent Institute (INAU), Marisa Linder, said, “Although the legal deadline for abortion has been exceeded, if we determine that the pregnancy endangers her health, judicial authorization could be granted.” The director of INAU’s health division, Monica Silva, responded and said that the girl is in good health. She added, “There is no risk of life for the girl or baby, so we cannot make her have an abortion.”
No mention if the resulting child has genetic damage because of the incest. Neither is there any mention about whether her brother paid any consequences for his crime.
First, no one died.
She congratulated an 11 year old and 13 year old for having sex??
Sick freaks
According to Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, the healing thing to do would be to kill the baby.
I think the congratulations were for the birth of the baby.
The rapist should be in a mental hospital.
Really? A mental hospital? I can think of a couple better places than that.
“The truth over Ms Middleton’s child eventually came to light and her brother was jailed for four years in 2009 after DNA tests proved he was the father.”
I wonder what they all think of the child brides I the Muslim world there is most likely many young mothers there.
depends on the degree of separation...
A group of genetic counselors reviewed the research on the biological consequences of sex between relatives (link at source for pdf file of study). They found a surprisingly small increase (about 4 percent) in birth defects among the children of married cousins. Incest between first-degree relatives, however, was a different story. The researchers examined four studies on the effects of first-degree incest on the health of the offspring (including the Czech research). Forty percent of the children were born with either autosomal recessive disorders, congenital physical malformations, or severe intellectual deficits, and another 14 percent of them had mild retardation. In short, the odds that a newborn child who is the product of brother-sister or father-daughter incest will suffer an early death, a severe birth defect, or some mental deficiency approaches 50 percent.

_____________________________________________
More important, does she understand the consequences of abortion...
Granted. As if this is a benefit magnanimously to be bestowed by a compassionate judge. The girl already refused it. Those who believe that abortion is the only legitimate outcome for a natural pregnancy would bestow a form of PTSD for life on the girl.
A really BAD mental hospital.
Hannity thinks he is a great Constitutional Conservative but he has some curious ideas about what that entails. His interpretation of the 2nd amendment, for instance, includes all sorts of infringements he thinks comport with “shall not be infringed.”
Some mental hospitals have graveyards attached.
Hannity is not very intelligent.
Sadly, his cranium is designed more for generating hair than cogitation.
I listen to Hannity every day because that is what is on the radio at work and my ears are such that listening to music, even songs I love is just noise. I cringe when he takes an articulate lefty caller or often, a conservative caller, and almost always misses the point and finishes an argument thinking he scored big when the listener has a sour taste because Sean sounded like he didn’t know what the discussion was about. When he has the obvious high ground in a “debate” with , especially that imam he talks to from time to time, he misses obvious scores and, to the listener, loses the debate. I guess he is better than OReilly, who is not viscerally even a conservative but adopted the stance to have a successful radio and TV talk career. I think Bill O. gets on the wrong side of things occasionally because he doesn’t guess correctly what the right side is.
I listened to him once go on for twenty minutes about how opposing abortion in all cases is “intellectually consistent,” but he just couldn’t imagine “forcing” a young girl to bear a child conceived in rape. He kept calling abortion “murder,” and then supporting a “rape exception.”
He’s the same way with contraception. He says he accepts the Church’s teaching, but supports federal funding of contraception because it’s a “benefit.”
One of his intellectual problems is that he doesn’t see that the Church calls some things a “sin” because they are BAD FOR PEOPLE. He thinks that, if you’re not a Catholic, contraception is a good thing. That’s actually the same argument Nancy Pelosi (and Geraldine Ferraro, and Mario Cuomo, etc., etc.) have made for years: I accept that abortion is a sin, but it’s unfair that rich women have this “benefit” if poor women don’t.
I knew Fr. Jonathan Morris (Legionary) was a snake when he supported Sean in his position on government funding of contraception.
Wouldn`t a mother/son match, with a resultant daughter, be the worst, given that the son`s only X would be the mother`s dominant X as well?
