She was 4years old when she got pregnant(I'd imagine) and 5 years old when she gave birth.

well I was watching The Spanish channel and there was a 9yr old with a 6 or 8 month old baby in Mexico somewhere and her father was the father of her baby. The whole thing just made me sick and really disgusted on how this world can be. There was the 12yr old that had a year old baby, on Maury, and the father of her baby was 15 I think. I practically breathe down my daughters neck I'm so close to her. I talk to her everyday and I answer any questions that she asks, and I get her all pumped up on sports and school activities and about college just to try to keep her mind off boys. Right now she's excited about entering the 6th grade and meeting new friends and she wants to start playing tennis. Everyday I am hoping that she continues to see what's important in life besides a boyfriend and babies.

There was a four year old Brazilian girl who was pregnant. They are blaming her early development on the fact that the chickens there are fed up on hormones, and the poor can only afford chicken as meat, then the girls develop so much earlier. The father was a retarded relative who was living with her family.
Basically once a girl shows the signs of puberty - pubic hair and breast development, there is a chance she could become pregnant, if engaging in sex, and for some that is as low as 8 or 9 years.

World's Youngest Mother
Peruvian five-year-old Lina Medina, accompanied by her 11-month-old-son Gerardo, and Doctor Lozada who attended her son's birth, are shown in this 1940 file photo taken in Lima's hospital.
When her child was born by Caesarean section in May 1939, Medina made medical history, and is still the youngest known mother in the world.
Lina Medina's parents thought their 5-year-old daughter had a huge abdominal tumor and when shamans in their remote village in Peru's Andes could find no cure, her father carried her to a hospital.
Just over a month later, she gave birth to a boy.
Medina was born on September 27, 1933 in the small village of Paurange. She was only 5 years 8 months old at the birth of her child on Mother's Day, May 14, 1939.
Born at full term at Lima's maternity clinic, her child was taken through a caesarian operation (Dr. Lozada and Busalleu, operators, Dr. Colretta, anesthesiologist). The child (boy), weighing 2,700 grams, was well formed and in good health. Child and mother were able to leave the clinic after only a few days.
Doctor Lozada has conducted very detailed studies since the diagnostic of the pregnancy which aroused much curiosity in the country; he took an x-ray of the child and her baby, established a diagnostic of the fetal situation, observed the state of functionality of the little mother who had begun menstruating at the age of 8 months. At four years old she had already developed breasts as well as pubic hair, her body proportions were a bit amazing and her bone hardening a bit advanced, things that are often observed in cases of such premature pregnancy.
After taunting from schoolmates, Medina's son, Gerardo - who was named after one of the doctors who attended Medina and who became their mentor - discovered when he was 10 that the person he had grown up believing to be his sister was in fact his mother.
Gerardo died in 1979 at age 40 from a disease that attacks the body's bone marrow, but it was said it was not clear there was any link with his illness and the fact his mother had been so young at his birth.
Medina herself married and in 1972 had a second son, 33 years after her first. Her second child now lives in Mexico.

It can't be 5 because she havent reached puberty at that age, so how to get pregnant although she was raped. it should be 9 or 8 years old at least.

According to the link below, it was a Peruvian girl who was 5. Other sites show this to be an urban legend, so take that for what it's worth.

I read once where a 7 year old girl in Mexico had a baby. Climate effects our ripening. They go through puberty much earlier there.
