"It's an eight-month-old baby"

Then , the Doctor called the police, which imprisoned the father minutes after arriving.The reason? He was the main suspect of such an aberrant event.Although finally, Tiburcio was released, since they found no strong evidence against him and no other suspect was arrested in the case.

The explanation

According to the medical record registered at the American Academy of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lina Medina could be mother with just 5 years because she obviously had an abnormally early hormonal development, in fact three months after she was born she already had pubic hair and at 2 years and eight months she began to menstruate.

Currently Lina is 81 years old, in the 1972 is He had his second son, and his first son, Gerardo Medina, grew up believing that Lina was his sister, it was not until he was 10 years old when he learned that Lina was really his mother.Gerardo died at age 40 because of of a strange bone disease, although it is not believed that the circumstances of his birth had anything to do with it.

The identity of Gerardo’s father is still unknown today.Lina’s father is suspected, that he was imprisoned when he was accused of rape, but there was no way to prove that he was really guilty.The brothers of the little girl were also in the spotlight, but nothing was ever clear.
