By Araksya Karapetyan Video We broke the unbelievable story last night of a 10-year old girl in St. Anthony who gave birth to a baby.
She's now one of the youngest kids in the country to become a mother.
Residents both on and off camera were shocked and in dismay over the situation, today this is what they had to say about our story.
Jim Ker, shocked resident: "I think there's a lot of sick people out there."
Holly Theisen, upset resident: "Somebody would end up getting hurt by me if that was my kid and I'd probably go to jail."
Kaity Dolezal, shocked 15-year old: "It's really sad a 10-yearold gave birth after being rapped."
Theisen: "That's a ten year old. That's a baby and baby shouldn't be having babies anyway."
Shynne Angell, upset 19-year old: "She should be outside playing with other kid. For something like this to happen to her I feel bad for her."
Ker: "They're not old enough. Shouldn't have kids raising kids."
Dolezal: "I'm fifteen. Can't imagine getting close to doing something like that."
Theirsen: "Disgusting . It's sick. It's sad. It's kind of embarrassing to our town even.'
Lyle Rumsey: "I don't think anything is wrong with our town. I just think something's wrong with that person."
That person is this man, 37-year old Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez.
Juarez is actually an illegal immigrant, and is now behind bars in the Fremont County Jail on other rape charges.
Since we broke this story exclusively yesterday, we've been checking with sources throughout the North Valley for more information.
The criminal complaint against Gutierrez-Juarez says the rape of the 10-year old happened between November and January. As we told you last night the girl gave birth at Madison Memorial this weekend and both mother and child are doing well.
If convicted the illegal immigrant could face life in prison, a $50,000 fine ,or both. Whether he ever serves anytime behind bars will be up to the judge who if he places him on probation, could deport him.
State Health and welfare officials say it's up to a judge to decide who has custody of the victim.
There was a child custody hearing which say have involved this case yesterday, but records are sealed.
The state, city and county are not willing to comment at this time.
But the question still remains, why wasn't any action taken sooner.

I would like to know why her parents let her have the baby.
no, but when you have a child of the same age it becomes a little more real.

I, like most, have lots of friends' with young children and young nieces and nephews so I don't really have a hard time believing it.
I do add it to the large group of "People you'd like to catch in the act."
10 minutes in a locked room with.......CHUCK NORRIS! That'll learn em.
yep, as a parent, I couldn't imagine allowing her to have the child - it makes no sense to me.
I hate to judge the parents, but I'd bet they are the type that don't beleive in abortion, under any circumstance.
You probably don't understand the freakish levels of conservative and Mormon influence in Idaho, especially Eastern Idaho. No matter how horrific the rape and pregnancy is, they still won't even consider abortion. Now, I don't know the people involved or anything, but I'd be willing to bet that is why...

I certainly don't understand this reasoning, but I don't understand their religion or religious beliefs. No matter what, how can you subject your child to even more trauma.
Preaching to the choir, bro. I don't understand it for one second either...

Journalism 101: [sic]!
kevinbeetle: "Yes. When her career washes up and her and Gavin move to Galveston, you will meet her at Hot Topic shopping for a Japanese cheerleader outfit.
Next!"
..there's somethng wrong with people.
"To is a preposition.
Come is a verb"
I can just hear the Parent's now saying "the baby is a part of our daughter so we can't abort".....Fucking disgusting!! :mad:

Into the hospital at Pisco (Peru) came a tired, ragged Indian woman from the foothills of the Andes. She led by the hand a shy little girl, scarcely three feet tall, with chestnut braids and an enormously bulging abdomen. Pointing to the frightened child, the Indian woman begged Surgeon Geraldo Lozada to exorcise the evil spirits which had taken possession of her. Certain that little Lina Medina had an abdominal tumor, Dr. Lozada examined her, received the surprise of his life when he discovered she was eight months pregnant.
Dr. Lozada took her to Lima, the capital of Peru, prior to the surgery to have other specialists confirm that Lina was in fact pregnant. A month and a half later, on May 14, 1939, she gave birth to a boy by a caesarean section necessitated by her small pelvis. The surgery was performed by Dr. Lozada and Dr. Busalleu, with Dr. Colretta providing anaesthesia. Her case was reported in detail by Dr. Edmundo Escomel to La Presse Medicale, along with the additional details that her menarche had occurred at 8 months of age, and that she had had prominent breast development by the age of 4. By age 5 her figure displayed pelvic widening and advanced bone maturation.
Her son weighed 2.7 kg (6 lb) at birth and was named Gerardo after her doctor. Gerardo was raised believing that Lina was his sister, but found out at the age of ten that she was his mother. He grew up healthy but died in 1979 at the age of 40 of a disease of the bone marrow.
There was never evidence that Lina Medina's pregnancy occurred in any but the usual way, but she never revealed the father of the child, nor the circumstances of her impregnation. Dr. Escomel suggested she might not actually know herself by writing that Lina "couldn't give precise responses." Lina's father was arrested on suspicion of rape and incest, but was later released due to lack of evidence. Medina later married Raúl Jurado, who fathered her second son in 1972. They live in a poor district of Lima known as Chicago Chico ("Little Chicago"). She refused an interview with Reuters in 2002.
There are two published photographs documenting the case. The first one was taken around the beginning of April, 1939, when Medina was seven and a half months into pregnancy. Taken from Medina's left side, it shows her standing naked in front of an inconclusive backdrop (either the side wall of a house with the sun shining on her, or a light-diffusing blanket in a room with an overhead light pointed toward the front of her body). This is the only published photograph of Lina taken during her pregnancy. This photograph is of significant value because it proves Medina's pregnancy as well as the extent of her physiological development. However, this photograph is not widely known outside medical circles. The other photograph is of far greater clarity and was taken a year later in Lima when Gerardo was eleven months old.
Although the case was called a hoax by some, a number of doctors over the years have verified it based on biopsies, X rays of the fetal skeleton in utero, and photographs taken by the doctors caring for her. Extreme degrees of precocious puberty in children under 5 are very uncommon but not unheard of. Pregnancy and delivery by a child this young remains extremely rare because extremely precocious puberty is treated to suppress fertility, preserve growth potential, and reduce the social consequences of full sexual development in childhood, and because termination of such pregnancy is more widely available now than in the early 20th century.
