The nine-year-old girl who gave birth in Mexico will never have another child after she was sterilized by the doctors who delivered her baby - against her family's wishes, it was revealed today.
The youngster was given the procedure following the shock delivery without the consent of her own mother.
She has now reported the Zoquipan Hospital in Guadalajara to the local human rights commission which is investigating.
The development came as MailOnline obtained the first pictures of her mother and stepfather, who live in a poor suburb of Guadalajara called Colonial Los Olivos. MailOnline is not naming them to protect the child's identity.
Last night the family - and the newborn baby girl named by a local newspaper as Maria de Los Angeles - fled their 7ft by 25ft breeze block home in a taxi just hours before police and the local mayor showed up to speak with them.
Dafne was eight at the time she got pregnant but she didn't realize she was expecting until she was seven months gone.
According to Guadalajara's Mural newspaper, the girl's mother - who can't read or write - didn't even think that it was a crime that somebody so young having sex could be a criminal offence until she turned up at the hospital with her daughter in labour.
The father was at first thought to be Dafne's boyfriend who may be aged between 15 and 17.
But DNA testing is being carried out among all of her male relatives to confirm who is the dad amid extraordinary claims that the stepfather may even be the father.
The respected El Occidental newspaper said that Dafne could have been raped multiple times over several months but claimed that it was never violent.
It also claimed that after seven months of the pregnancy when everyone found out her boyfriend he asked her to run away with him, but she refused. The authorities are hunting him after he fled following the birth.
Neighbours in Colonial los Olivos told MailOnline that they were relieved that the stepfather, in his mid 40s, had left even if it was only for a short time.
They said he used to beat Dafne and sometimes their rows would spill out into the street where he would continue to hit her.
They also claimed he slept in the same bed as her and shared a bath and that he was abusing her just as he did his biological daughter, for which they claim he had spent time in jaill.
Should this be the other way around? Shouldn't the rapist get sterilized and not the girl?
Either way this story is depressing.
