12-year-old boy in Canada delivered his baby brother after their mother went into labor
By Mike Krumboltz | The Lookout – Thu, Aug 25, 2011

Gaelan Edwards, a 12-year-old boy from Campell River, British Columbia, delivered his baby brother on Sunday morning when his mother went into labor and couldn't make it to the hospital.

Gaelan was up late, "watching a movie about showgirls on television at about 2 a.m. on Sunday morning," Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper reports, when he heard his mother call from her bedroom. At first, he thought he was in trouble for watching TV when he wasn't supposed to be, he told CTV.

Quite a kid!  :bravo:

Heck of a job for a kid that young.

I helped deliver my first grandson and let me tell you this was, a weird experience for me.  No doctors about, daughter on a Gurney as she had not yet been assigned a room.   Just me and a Nurses Aid.

i fear for the child's psyche growing up having seen what no 12 yr old boy wants to see.
