In 1939, Lina Medina, at just five years old, became the youngest confirmed mother in medical history, leaving experts baffled and the circumstances of her pregnancy a lasting mystery.

The facts are they were poor villagers in 1939. According to all articles I’ve seen the parents thought she had a tumor. You also have to understand that the “tumor” would not have been that huge the entire seven months. Quite a few people here also seem to be pushing the assumption that it was her father that assaulted her and the family was hiding the assault. Lina never talked about who it was or even what happened even after well into adulthood. Could’ve been anybody in the village.
