Schoolgirl, 12 gives birth on school trip

It does indeed. You do realise that some females continue to have periods throughout their pregnancy right?

A girl in my Y7 class got pregnant when she was 11. (Really. She was off school for months while getting an abortion etc, and her boyfriend, who was 18, got done on child sex charges.) This sort of thing is appalling, but not as rare as you'd think.

I wouldn't be shocked if this was sexual abuse from her father though, given that she does have a history of that in the family. It's very unfair to jump in and call her a slut without knowing whose it is.

The father of this girl has a history child abuse. I doubt she 'lost it' willingly.

Wow. That's even more shocking than that (albeit maybe fictional) story in the Ludacris Runaway Love song, where an 11-year-old girl gets pregnant by her 16-year-old boyfriend. I really don't get what guys that old see in girls that young, or why girls that age want to be engaging in that sort of precocious behaviour anyway . Just wrong

Sounds a bit fishy to me. How can you not tell that she was pregnant. Unless she was really fat?

No. You can't have your menstrual period while you're pregnant.

But vaginal bleeding during pregnancy does occur rarely. Now I don't really know this 12 year old, but I DOUBT she had vaginal bleeding. And if she did she would have suffered severe pain, and thats when she should have realised somethings not right

Plus, this girl had sex, unprotected sex, or she's just extremely secretive.

A 12-year-old Dutch schoolgirl who gave birth during a school trip has been placed into foster care.

The unnamed girl from Groningen was out with classmates last Tuesday when she felt violent stomach pains. An alarmed teacher called an ambulance and when emergency services arrived they realised she was about to give birth.

Neither the girl nor her family realised she was pregnant, and she showed no signs of carrying a baby.

She has refused to name the father.

Dutch social services told news agency ANP the girl “may be in an unsafe environment” at home and have asked police to begin a formal investigation.

They said: “It is not clear if the adults in this story have played a role. That is why we have asked the police to look into the adults.”

Dutch paper the Telegraaf reports that the girl's father has a conviction for abusing an older sister.

The schoolgirl, along with her baby, are said to be “doing well” in hospital.

She didn't have her period for 9 months...surely she would of known...

Bleeding vaginally doesn't always mean pain. Lots of women 'spot' through pregnancy and think its their period (I assume the ones that don't realise).

I never found out the full details as we were all only 11 and it was treated as a pretty serious criminal case, but it was actually consensual - she'd come from a pretty horrendously deprived background, and it's quite common among some people around here to sleep with guys substantially older (when I was on work experience aged 16, the girl I was with, who was also 16, had a 25-year-old boyfriend) so it was in some form of context. I never will understand fully though

I don't think 16 and 25 are too bad, cos at least they're both legal. But with 11-year-olds, they're significantly below the age of consent, most have only just started puberty and they are really too immature to be having sexual relationships at that age. I never felt like doing anything like that when I was that age, so it shocks me when I hear that others do. Especially with much older guys who should really know better themselves.

Well, no .. a 16 year old and 25 year old having sex is illegal

How'd you make that out? The age of consent is 16
