CINCINNATI (AP) -- A 10-year-old girl in the Cincinnati area has given birth in a case that has shocked social workers because the girl is so young.
The birth of the baby at University Hospital in November has set off an investigation.
The baby has been placed in a foster home, and the mother - who is now 11 - is living with a relative.
Prosecutors suspect that the boyfriend of the 11-year-old's mother is the father of the baby. Police from suburban Lockland are interviewing 40-year-old Michael Chaffer in a Columbus jail where he's been held on unrelated charges.
