He had fathered a child with her mother, too, which was born ten days before hers. The girl's first baby was fathered by a man of 23 who was also her mother's lover. Her own mother was just 14 when she had her, and went on to become Britain's youngest grandmother at 26. The schoolgirl's family background makes depressing reading. One neighbour on a council estate in Rotherham said: 'She is giving out the message that it's OK to keep getting pregnant and the state will just keep paying for it.' Her unborn baby's father is 17 and out of work, so the financial burden of supporting her growing family will continue to be borne by taxpayers.
Not content with getting pregnant at 11 and giving birth at 12, she is now expecting her second child at the age of 14. The young mother lives in an area with one of the worst rates of under-age pregnancy in the country.
