10-year-old girl has been delivered of a
healthy baby in Brazil hours after she complained of stomach ache at school.
The girl, who was rushed to
the hospital by teachers, turned out to be in her late stages of labour - she
was seven months pregnant.
She was said to have given
birth normally, and both mother and newborn are doing fine.
According to Irish Mirror,
the girl told the police that her 40-year-old ex-stepfather abused her.
The girl’s mother said she
had no idea her daughter was pregnant, but said she noticed that the little one
started to struggle at school and became more introverted from October last
year.
"The mother alleges
that she, along with other family members, hadn't noticed, taking into
consideration the child's small frame," Police in Belo Horizonte,
south-east Brazil said.
The girl said the
ex-stepfather had threatened to kill her mother and brother if she attempted to
make the abuse public.
The man has been charged
with rape of a child and illegal possession of firearms.
