A nine-year-old girl has given birth to a 2.75kg baby in north-east China, reports say.
The baby was delivered by cesarean at a hospital in Changchun in Jilin province.
The City Evening News in China reports the girl's parents have sought legal advice.
Under Chinese law, sex with a girl under 14 years of age carries an automatic rape conviction.
Despite the girl's young age, and the potential for complications, it's been reported the mother and her new baby are in good health.
Another report from a Shanghai based hospital said 30 per cent of young girls who had surgical abortions were school students.
