Shem Davies World's Youngest Grandfather

SPONSORS

A 29-year-old from Bridgend, South Wales, has become Britain's youngest grandfather after his 14-year-old (now 15) daughter, Tia, recently gave birth to a baby girl. Shem Davies was also 14 when Tia was born, who celebrated her 15th birthday in hospital after giving birth to her baby girl - Gracie.

When Shem, who happens to be unemployed at the moment, showed up to the hospital, the staff thought he was the father instead of the grandfather. It's hard to believe in it. Weighing a mere 2lbs, Baby Gracie was born by Cesarean section in the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, South Wales. Although she has gained enough weight to depart the hospital in several weeks, Gracie is currently being kept in an incubator.
According to recent figures, the United Kingdom has the second-highest teenage birth rate in the developed world. There were 38,259 teenage pregnancies in 2009 alone, although 50% of the mothers had abortions.
