Has anyone seen this? A German woman gave birth to her 10th child apparently without fertility treatment. Do you believe this? Surely its not possible?!

Found! Well, maybe strawberry blonde.

I mean - she does look crazily young for a 66 year old, to an extent where I can totally believe she's a medical abnormality. I pass no judgment on how wise was it to have a baby at that age - I understand her husband is significanly younger than her so it is not like the children will be left full orphans / unsupervised even if she deteriorates fast. We don't see similar judgment passed for men who become fathers at that age, so I would give the same courtesy to a woman.

Looks like she's got a clear peel off facemask on

2nd coming of christ, perhaps 😂

More like the second coming of John the Baptist. 😆

It's a very sad story. Her name was Lina Medina, if you want to Google her. She had a C-section and then her son was raised as her bother.

I think they suspected her father, but nothing was proven.

Couldn't they have done a dna test to see if he was the dad or wouldn't that work because she would have some of his dna anyway as his daughter?

It was in 1939 so well before dna testing. Maybe they could have done it when dna testing became available but I don't think the family were interested so maybe they refused. Lina's son died in 1979, when he was 40, so it would have had to be collected posthumously from both Lina's son and father. Maybe that wasn't possible for some reason or another.

There's not a lot of information on the police investigation.

Precocious puberty and molestation by a family member, I think.

Yes. In South America I think. Poor wee girl.
