12-year-old girl from Perth who gave birth earlier this month was impregnated by 14-year-old stepbrother

Police say it is a very delicate and sensitive situation and they are making sure that the family is well supported. Who will take care of the infant hasn't been clarified as yet
UPDATED JAN 31, 2019

It has now been revealed that the 12-year-old girl who gave birth earlier this month was impregnated by her own 14-year-old stepbrother. The young child went into labor in her home in Perth, where the baby was eventually delivered before she was transferred to the King Edward Memorial Hospital with her healthy baby earlier in January. Once at the Peel Health Campus, she told the hospital staff that she did not have any clue that she was pregnant.

WA Police Commissioner Chris Dawson said in a statement that the safety of the child parents and their baby was very important. He told the West Australian: "It's a very delicate, sensitive situation but we're primarily concerned about making sure the right support mechanisms are in place. While there is a police investigation, it's primarily centered on the welfare."
