    You may have seen the news story recently about a 23-year-old Romanian woman becoming the world’s youngest grandmother. She gave birth when she was just 12 years old and her daughter had a baby at the age of 11. Also in the news was the story of the woman set to become Britain’s youngest grandmother aged 29.
