A 16-year-old girl has given birth to triplets in Argentina - for the second time.
The girl, named only as Pamela, had her first set of triplets aged 15, having already had a son at just 14.
Both sets of triplets are all girls and were born prematurely, reports the BBC.
Doctors say the three newborns and their mother are well, but the case has sparked debate across Argentina.
Pamela's family already receives help from the provincial authorities, which donated land and built them a house when the first set of triplets was born.
Pamela's mother, who cleans houses to support her daughter and grandchildren, says they will now seek more assistance from the government.
Some Argentines are arguing that perhaps what Pamela needs is more advice on contraception.
The teenager, who will be 17 on Monday, comes from the remote town of Leones in the central Argentine province of Cordoba.
