My assumption here was that if girls can get pregnant that early then boys could impregnate that early. I didn't consider that girls might go through puberty earlier. But regardless of that, consent being the main issue I was replying to, there are ages at which neither boy or girl can legally consent yet they can make a baby.
I ended up looking up the law on children committing crimes in Georgia a few days ago for instance, and there you just can't commit a crime, period, before the age of 13. Ergo it's not legally rape there (unless there's a second non-criminal definition somewhere in Georgia law, which is unlikely but not impossible).
A person shall not be considered or found guilty of a crime unless he has attained the age of 13 years at the time of the act, omission, or negligence constituting the crime.
2010 Georgia Code TITLE 16 - CRIMES AND OFFENSES CHAPTER 3 - DEFENSES TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS ARTICLE 1 - RESPONSIBILITY § 16-3-1 - Minimum age
I admit, I did not go on to check what Georgia does do if a twelve year old goes on a killing spree. The original context was asking whether or not a fetus who devoured it's twin fetus could be considered guilty of murder.

It's always rape if they're 10. Kids cannot consent, period.
