'9-year-old' mom is actually 12 or 13, so it's still really sad

Earlier this month, the world was horrified by reports claiming a girl aged just nine had given birth in the Mexican state of Jalisco. However, authorities now say the girl wasn't actually nine. Don't breathe a sigh of relief just yet — according to "anthropological studies" of the girl, she's aged between 12 and 13. In case you weren't already convinced this is the least comforting news update ever: Contrary to reports the girl had been impregnated by a 17-year-old boy, DNA tests allegedly confirm the baby's father is the girl's 44-year-old stepfather, who has now been arrested.
