In this piece, it reads as though precocious puberty was the cause of this child’s pregnancy. Yes there is a sentence in one section about the father being held and then released on suspicion of child abuse. However, in the effort to be “just the facts” there is an absurd lacunae that ends up colluding with the abuse she clearly suffered. The cause of the pregnancy was child sexual abuse, not precocious puberty. 24.151.78.219 ( talk) 14:10, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
Lina Medina was a victim of sexual abuse. This article claiming that she was just experience "precocious puberty" is covering up what really happened to her, and is grossly insensitive towards both children's and women's rights and issues. Wikipedia is a source used by many people, and allowing such a dangerous thing to be promoted and misconstrued can result in potential abusers being misinformed and justifying their actions. "Well it's not rape, it's precocious puberty! I can assault children." 24.184.101.129 ( talk) 13:38, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
The four IP comments above stem from a fundamental misunderstanding. "Precocious puberty" is not meant as some subjective judgmental comment implying inappropriate sexual behavior, promiscuity, or consent for sex on the part of a child. Instead, precocious puberty is a purely biological condition in which puberty occurs at an unusually early age. Regards, AzureCitizen ( talk) 23:23, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
She passed away in November 2015 see here LegoFCB ( talk) 05:26, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Her death is cited on Legit.ng, which appears to be a reliable source. https://www.legit.ng/1228037-lina-medina-story-youngest-mother-world.html Chessrat ( talk, contributions) 03:07, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
Just to add to this catalog of life and death claims, Lina's article in the Spanish version of Wikipedia doesn't seem to mention it - here.
My Spanish is not good. Someone with greater skills in that language might find something there. HiLo48 ( talk) 00:42, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Under "Identity of the father", change "the mere fact of Medina's pregnancy" to "the fact of Medina's pregnancy". The word "mere" contributes nothing and affects the tone of the article. 98.118.9.141 ( talk) 22:25, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Original: Medina gave birth to song Gerardo by caesarean section.
Edit request: Medina gave birth to son Gerardo by caesarean section.
(small typo fix, changing "song" to "son")
