13-year-old Greek girl gave birth in a toilet without knowing she was pregnant
An incredible case unfolded in a Greek hospital as a 13-year-old girl gave birth in the toilet, claiming she did not know she was pregnant. A doctor had examined her earlier without noticing the pregnancy.
According to Mega's Live News show, the incident occurred on Saturday when the child went to the hospital with unbearable stomach pains. There, she assured her mother that there was no sexual intercourse and then the pediatrician administered laxatives for tamponade.
The child then went to the toilet, gave birth, and has since been monitored by psychologists. https://greekcitytimes.com/2023/10/03/13-year-old-girl-greece-birth/

Not all renters smoke weed or are in gangs, minister says
Not all renters are "bad people" who smoke weed or are in gangs, the housing minister has said as she defended plans to strengthen renters' rights.
Rachel Maclean said the government was committed to the Renters Reform Bill and she hoped it would make progress in Parliament soon.
The bill would ban landlords in England from evicting tenants with no justification. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66978108
