MEXICO CITY - Authorities say a nine-year-old girl has given birth in western Mexico and they are looking for the purported father, a 17-year-old.

Jalisco state police spokesman Lino Gonzalez says the baby girl was born last week at a hospital in the city of Guadalajara. He says the girl and her baby are doing well.

Gonzalez said Wednesday that the girl's family alerted authorities after she gave birth and the alleged father has not been seen since in the neighbourhood they both live in.

He says that if the teenager's paternity is proven he could face child sex abuse charges.

Gonzalez says the girl told authorities the teenager was her boyfriend.

What exactly is the age of consent in Mexico?

No idea.

Where were the parents of this boy and girl?

Age of consent in Mexico is a little difficult to understand. It's not cut and dry the way it is here. The link below might help some.

Somebody commented on the Huffington Post article on this subject doubting that the father was a teenage boy, and believed that it might've been her father. I suppose either scenario might be possible.

Either way you cut it, it's just...sick. I hope and pray that the girl and her baby will be able to safe and not be traumatized for life.
