My cousin's husband is a doctor. When he worked in the hospital emergency room, one of his patients was a pregnant eleven year old. The pregnancy was probably the result of an incestuous relationship and considered statutory rape under the laws of New York. He wasn't sure what happened to the girl because it was out of his hands and in the hands of the social workers. I was shocked since I had never heard of a pregnant eleven year old. He said that many of his patients were pre-teens and young teens who were pregnant and didn't know it. They all thought that they had stomach problems. It was very sad.
