'No one has ever established who was the father of Medina’s child, or confirmed she became pregnant after being raped.' (from the second article)
'He said she had her first period at two-and-a-half, became pregnant aged four years and eight months and that when doctors performed the Caesarean to deliver her baby, they found she already had fully mature sexual organs.' (Also from the second article'
VERY weird story!!!

- This is gross. All the talk about the scientific significance and no talk about how the poor child must have been raped!!

I am sure that many many years ago people developed much earlier to perpetuate the human race I am thinking about times when humans only lived 20-25 years or so. But 4 years old in the 1900's seems really far fetched.

I am curious if that is medically possible.

It is possible. It is called precocious puberty and it's more common in girls.
I'm not certain if its true, but I have heard of cases, I think in some parts of Puerto Rico, where there are young girls (age 4or 5 yrs) that have had their periods and have developed breasts, etc... I have also seen a news report from a Spanish news program that looks into oddities, etc... in different parts of the world, primarily in South America I think, where an 8 or 9 year old girl was raped and found to be pregnant. Dont know if she had the baby though, but I know there was some controversy between the family of the girl and the Church regarding terminating the pregnancy.
