4 year olds? Do you mean 14 year olds? 4 year olds don't get their period, so they cannot have a baby. 4 year old bodies haven't produced any of the hormones to start puberty...not till about 7 y/o. then puberty comes a few years later. 4 year olds do, unfortunately, are victims of sexual abuse. they can get STIs, but cannot produce a baby. I would like to see a study where 4 year olds have ovulated and produced an embryo.
However, I think you make really great points about adolescent sexuality in general. I just saw this movie, called "Thirteen" it's really disturbing, but excellent. Anyone interested in adolescent sexuality, substance abuse should see it. Especially if you're an educator.

As far as getting pregnant at age 4, I'm not sure. What I am sure of is that girls even younger have gotten their periods.

Please show me a link to this- I'd be very interested to see that. I can understand vaginal bleeding becaue of some disease/disorder/infection, but not menstruation.

AKA Monet is actually correct in saying 4. I believe the earliest recorded pregnancy was with a girl around that age, obviously with some genetic abnormality which induced early sexual development.
If I'm not mistaken, the youngest girl that actually gave birth to a baby without miscarrying was 8. Again, due to some kind of early development issue.
I'll post the links to the stories when I have more time, but I'm sure a quick Google search would provide this information for you.

I had a 7th grader (just turned 13) get pregnant last year. Her twin sister then went and got pregnant because "Then our babies can grow up like sisters!"
This year, they show off the pictures of the babies. The other girls are saying: "Oh, they are so cute! I want to have a baby, too!" 
It happens.

Having a baby is a fashion statement? WTF? Sorry, but right now (for personal reasons) this statement pisses me off!
Where were the parents in all this. I can tell you, I was too scared of my mom to even THINK about getting knocked up as a teen.

Chavs+Daily Mail=WTF. Bad sources all around. Besides, having a baby is a requirement of being a female chav. That and the burberry hat.

Pregnancy before menstration.
As much as I ususally loathe .org medical info sites, this one talks about getting pregnant before menstration, which is possible, also.
