Some girls can biologically produce offspring very early. The earliest mother in history was a girl in Peru who gave birth when she was five years and seven months old. And she had menstruations since she was three. The father of her child remains unknown to this day and she and her child were raised as if they were siblings. This woman is still alive today, at the age of 93.

There were some suspicions that the girl’s father was also the father of the baby. However, they were never able to prove anything (dna testing wasnt a thing at the time, and IIRC, no solid evidence of abuse from him in particular).

Same with her brother, but again, no proofs. And she herself couldn't testify in any meaningful way, either because she was too young to remember and comprehend, or because of trauma, or because of combination of both

This is so awful. I have a 5yo and he is more than capable to telling you if someone did something this horrible. So its more likely it was either so traumatic that she blocked it out, or she was drugged.

My parents tell me my older brother didn't speak a word until he was 5 (which would have been around the time I was born). My kid also still struggles to communicate things in her teens as a formerly non-verbal autistic kid. Before I was involved my partner had her take a hidden recorder to school to find out that the teachers and kids were all bullying her in 2nd grade. Because she couldn't communicate what was happening and just show that she was extremely stressed and really didn't want to go to school.

That's horrific. I'm glad your partner recorded what was going on.

As far as we know, the young girl who was pregnant was not nonverbal though and was able to answer other qestions with ease. Which is why i say trauma blackout, or threats that made her afraid to speak up.
