World's Youngest Grandmother is 23 - But What Does She Look Like?

This morning I read an article on the world’s youngest grandmother, who had her first child at twelve and her first grandbaby at twenty-three:

“Mum-of-two Rifca Stanescu was 12 when she had her first child Maria.

She urged the girl not to follow her example – but Maria gave birth to son Ion while only 11.”

We have to consider the source – this was reported by British tabloid The Sun – but to be frank, I’m not very concerned about Ms. Stanescu, her children, or her grandchildren. Romanian women typically marry quite young, with a mean age of twenty-three. I’m more concerned about the people commenting on this news, all over the web...
