6. Maria (Age 9)
After being repeatedly raped by her stepfather since the age of 6, she gave birth to a healthy boy by a Cesarean section in 2003. After the hospital, both Maria and her son were transferred to a home for unwed mothers. Her mother refused to leave her husband who was accused of the assault of her daughter but remained determined to get custody over her daughter.
