Lina Marcela Medina
Lina Marcela Medina, born on September 23, 1933, in Ticrapo, Peru, became internationally known as the youngest confirmed mother in medical history when she gave birth at the age of five years, seven months, and 21 days. Her case shocked the medical community and the world, raising questions about early puberty and child exploitation. After her pregnancy was confirmed, investigations were launched into the circumstances surrounding her impregnation, but no perpetrator was ever identified. Lina's son, Gerardo, was raised to believe she was his sister, only learning the truth at the age of ten. Despite the notoriety of her case, Lina has maintained a life of privacy, consistently refusing media inquiries and living a quiet life after her early years of fame. As of the 2000s, her whereabouts and well-being remain largely unknown, with speculation that she may still be alive at the age of 90.
