A 12-year-old girl, raped by her grandfather, gave birth to their baby in a cesarean section at 29 weeks pregnant. The premature baby had to be assisted in an incubator due to his delicate state of health but has ended up dying, according to several Bolivian media reports.

The event has occurred in Chimoré, Cochabamba, Bolivia. The minor, like the Ombudsman, Nadia Cruz, had reiterated on several occasions, had previously begged, begged, and asked between tears that the pregnancy be interrupted so that everything would end: "I can't take it anymore, I want him to be taken out. I have strength. I want to return home with my little brothers," Latin American media publish.

From the 'Ombudsman for Children', through its boss, Cinthia Prado, the psychological and affective consequences that she would suffer if she brought the baby into the world as a result of her grandfather's abuse have been denounced.

"She is not biologically, affectively, or psychologically qualified to assume this great responsibility. The affectation is quite great. The girl is at an age of development, therefore it is a very difficult situation to cope with," she stressed.

The doctors at the Germán Urquidi Maternal and Child Hospital, however, decided that given the advanced state of pregnancy in which she was found, it was not possible to interrupt the pregnancy legally, since she was in the sixth month of pregnancy, and what The law contemplates is that the legal interruption of pregnancy is only allowed up to 22 weeks.
