A 16-year-old from Argentina has given birth to female triplets - for the second time.
The girl, called Pamela, had her first set of female triplets when she was only 15. Her first son was born when she was just 14!
All seven of her children were born prematurely but she has never had any form of fertility treatment. The three newborns and their mum are doing well according to doctors but Pamela's case has ignited a huge debate across Argentina. Newspapers have been unanimous in their criticism of Pamela's alleged promiscuity and the topic is on the menu in bars and cafes across the nation.
The teenager's family already receives help from various sources in her country. Her provincial authority even donated land and built them a house when the first set of triplets was born.
Pamela's mother is a cleaner who cleans houses to support her daughter and rapidly increasing number of grandchildren. She said that the family would have to seek help and financial assistance from the government for the new additions to the family.
The teenager, who will be 17 soon comes from Leones, a remote town, in the central Argentine province of Cordoba.
