5 year old mother??

A while back I was reading up on some Daily Mail, Buzzfeed News, and publications of that nature when I came across an article about the youngest pregnancy in history. Lina Medina was a 5 year old living in Peru when strange things began to happen to her body. Suffering from premature puberty and getting her period at the age of two, Lina was different than most. In 1933 Ticrapo, Peru it wasn’t uncommon for town celebrations to come to an end in orgies where rape often occurred. Lina and her family didn’t realize that she was in fact pregnant until she was already 8 months along. Having her son by C-section was a dangerous and difficult process but when Lina lived through it the relationship she had with her son was kept a secret. They were simply labeled as brother and sister since they we’re only 5 years apart. It’s facts and history like this that I can really connect with stories like what the Buendía family went through during the decades. They experienced relationships of incest, vast ages, and more obscure things. It’s really similar to the type of things that took place back in the time Lina lived and the fact that her story is true is fascinating.
