KOCHI: A shocking incident has come to light wherein it has been found that a 12-year-old boy has become the youngest father.   The 16-year-old mother gave birth to a baby girl in November, 2016 at a private hospital in Ernakulam, Kerala. The girl claimed that the 12-year-old is the father, after which a DNA test was conducted that ascertained her claims.
