When they were catapulted into the spotlight, they were still children. However, in the intervening years, what has become of the youngest parents in Britain?
This week, we disclosed that Tressa Middleton, the youngest mother in Britain, is currently expecting her fourth child, having given birth at the age of twelve.
A photo of a baby ultrasound that the 29-year-old Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland resident posted on Facebook was taken 17 years after her first pregnancy made headlines around the country.
She exclaimed, “So guys, it’s another girl!!” in the post. Four girls, I can’t believe it. Good luck, Darren.” We relive Tressa’s heartbreaking tragedy and what happened to the other youngest parents in Britain as the expectant mother reveals her good news.
Horrific attack
When Tressa’s pregnancy was made public at the age of 11, it was thought to be the consequence of an incident involving alcohol.
Born from a chaotic household with a mother struggling with addiction, Tressa gave birth not long after finishing elementary school.
