MADRID — A Romanian Gypsy woman whose 10-year-old daughter just gave birth in Spain says she’s delighted to have a new granddaughter and doesn’t understand why the birth shocked anyone, let alone became an international sensation.
Spanish authorities have released few details about the case to protect the girl’s privacy. But her mother told reporters that the baby’s father is a 13-year-old boy who is still in Romania.
Leading daily El Pais and other Spanish news media said prosecutors had announced they would investigate whether the parents might be guilty of any negligence if the 10-year-old child was not registered for school or had not been taken to see a doctor during her pregnancy.
