A young girl who became pregnant to her brother at age 11 has delivered her child. She spoke of why she chose life. She is now one of the world’s youngest mothers ever. The Mirror initially reported that Tressa Middleton was born to a poor family and became Britain’s youngest mother in 2006 at the age of 12. Her 16 year old brother Jason raped her at age 11. Now aged 22, Tressa said on UK TV show This Morning, that her brother could be “Loving one minute and different the next.”
Middleton was taken to an old warehouse near the family home by Jason one day where the violent attack occurred. “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.” To protect her mother Middleton said the pregnancy was a result of consensual sex but later shared the truth. Middleton gave up her child for adoption at age 14. 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.”
