Although at first glance the photo in the next image does not seem to have anything out of the ordinary, it hides a tragic story that went around the world.
Tressa Middleton is 11 years old and, although it seems hard to believe, at such an early age she holds her own baby in her arms!
Equally serious and shocking is the way she became pregnant at this young age: she was raped one night by her own 16-year-old brother.
These events deeply marked her, made her feel stigmatized and helpless, for these reasons she drowned her bitterness in alcohol and drugs.
The way of life that the teenage mother chose made the authorities take her child, the girl she gave life to now grows up in an orphanage, among hundreds of other foreign children.
Now and finally, Tressa has recovered from her depression and, now at the age of 23, she became pregnant again with her boyfriend, whom she says she loves enormously. She wants and plans to be a model mother, which she promised herself, at the same time she dreams of the moment when her two children will meet face to face and will be able to have a brotherly relationship.
Here’s what the girl looks like now:
