The Sun reports a female aged just 12 years old gave birth yesterday to a boy.

Apart from the US, the UK has the world’s highest pregnancy rate in under-16s.

The new mum, just out of primary school became pregnant after a one night stand with an older boy.

The mother is described as white, from a broken home and lives in a deprived part of the South West. She was taken to hospital suffering stomach pains and feeling, “unwell.”

A spokesperson for the relationships charity Life told The Sun: “In Britain today we have children giving birth to children, it is sad.

“We need to empower young people to make wise choices about sex that leads to long term happiness.”

Britain’s youngest mother gave birth two months shy of her 12th birthday in 1996 near Edinburgh. Her boyfriend was charged with having sex with a minor.
