A judge has ruled that the child of a 15-year-old boy and his 13-year-old sister will be adopted.

The child was born two years ago in Northern Ireland to the now 16-year-old mother. Her brother originally denied he was the father, but a DNA test proved his paternity.

The mother and child were separated soon after the child’s birth and placed in separate foster homes.

Justice O’Hara made the decision for the child to be adopted, as the mother was found incapable of giving consent for adoption, reports The Daily Mail. The brother was scarcely involved in the proceedings.

“She is not in a position to fully understand the possible consequences of the various decisions which have to be made for herself and for the boy,” a psychiatrist’s report read.

Justice O’Hara wrote in his judgement that “she is undoubtedly capable of making some decisions as is shown by some elements of the psychological assessment but not a decision which is of a magnitude and which has the consequences of the present one.”

Before the child was born, the mother had a history with social services due to concerns about her own mother, stepfather, and siblings.

The judge views what happened to her as not being her fault but a consequence of how she was raised, reports the Independent.

“It is hard to identify any positive life experience which she has enjoyed,” Justice O’Hara said.

The name of the mother, father, and child have been kept private for legal reasons.

So the mother is mentally disabled and has been raised in an extremely dysfunctional household? OMG!!!!!!!

Where does it say "mentally disabled"? She was 13 years old at the time after the birth of her baby. I have never heard of a brother (age 15 years old) having sex with his sister before. That is impossible. That would be call "incest" as he is older than her. They are two years difference in their age.

It is normal to get the baby adopted if her parents don't want the baby badly enough to keep the baby. Now that she was 16 years old and still too young to be able to take care of her baby. Children who became pregnant and having the baby are still children. They are not grown up. So that happen that the baby are being forced to be adopted. I would have hope there would have been an Aunt or grandparent to adopt her baby. :dunno:
