DUTCH POLICE HAVE arrested the 52-year-old father of a 12-year-old child who gave birth on a school trip last month.
The 12-year-old and her healthy baby daughter were taken into foster care after the birth. The schoolgirl had not known she was pregnant.
Prosecutors have “serious suspicions” that the man abused his daughter.
Prosecutor’s office spokeswoman Kirsten Smit that following DNA testing, scientists had concluded that there was a “considerable” chance he was the father. It was difficult to determine definitely, she said, as the 12-year-old and her father were closely related and so genetically very similar.
“There are a lot of similarities between the father and his daughter and you also find those in the baby. That is why it is hard to see what is from him and what is from the mother,” said Smit. “But there are things missing from the mother that have been passed on by the father. That is why we say the chance is considerable, we can’t be 100 per cent sure.”
Neither the girl not the father were identified.

What a big pile of sh!hte
Sean, I couldn’t agree more.
Annoys me when every workplace article is based at an office. Some of us work outdoors and various dufferent places. Not all of us are stuck at a desk and screen.
I work in an office and just go to the gym at lunch. problem solved.
Would people not think you’re a bit mad if you started doing all of this!! Lol!
A work article on a Sunday! This is a new low Journal, a new low.
Also, clenching your teeth and smiling hard accentuates your cheekbones, though you will look like you’re making a huge poo.
Stuck in a car all, or half the day. Thats a trickier one.
It must be a slow news day
I find that the ideal way to integrate exercise into the work day is to live 30 minutes walking distance from the office. This means you can integrate an hours exercise a day without really trying.
Take the stairs instead of the lift on your way out for a cigarette
Ronan: I’ll pay top dollar for more fitness tips like that! Its practical, easy to understand and fits right in with my lifestyle. I had been toying with the idea of replacing standard pint glasses with a 4 pint, lead stein, thereby giving the biceps a bit of a ‘blast’ in the pub. The real beauty being the more you drink, the stronger you get!
What a load of rubbish. As if exercising at your desk compensates for a proper workout. Cop on
Next week could ye put on the one where we take time out at work to worship our supreme leaders enda and joan, cause i forgot how to do that one again, and if i don’t do it, i might get arrested or something!
