He became a father at 13, while she became a mother at 13, but wait till you see how the youngest parents looks like now

Tressa Middleton, who became Britain’s youngest mother at age 12, is now expecting her fourth child at 29. The Bathgate, Scotland resident shared the news on Facebook: “So guys, it’s another girl!! I can’t believe it. Four girls. Good luck, Darren.”

**A Heartbreaking Beginning**

When Tressa’s pregnancy was announced at age 11, the truth behind it remained hidden. Born into a chaotic household with an addicted mother, she gave birth shortly after finishing elementary school. Two years later, battling depression and substance abuse, her baby was taken into custody and placed for adoption.

The father’s identity stayed secret until 2009, when Tressa revealed that her older brother Jason had sexually assaulted her since age seven. DNA evidence confirmed this, and Jason, 34, was sentenced to four years in prison.

“Sometimes he blackmailed or bribed me,” Tressa told the Daily Mail in 2011. “He’d threaten to tell Mum or give me joints, drink, cigarettes.”

**Rebuilding Her Life**

Tressa fought to overcome heroin addiction that once cost £400 daily. Now with partner Darren Young, she’s rebuilding her life and expecting their third child together.

**Other Young Parents**

In 2021, an 11-year-old became Britain’s newest youngest mother after being sexually assaulted at age 10. The case remains under investigation with family receiving expert support.

Alfie Patten made headlines in 2009 at 13, believed to be a father. However, DNA testing revealed he wasn’t the biological father—14-year-old Tyler Barker was. The revelation devastated Alfie, who later struggled with unemployment, alcoholism, and legal troubles.

Sean Stewart, who became a father at 12 in 1998 with 15-year-old neighbor Emma Webster, later faced his own challenges, including imprisonment for theft.

**A Global Tragedy**

The world’s youngest mother remains Lina Medina of Peru, who gave birth at just five years old in 1939 due to precocious puberty. The father’s identity was never revealed.

These stories highlight the devastating impact of childhood sexual abuse and the importance of protecting vulnerable children.
