Police have arrested a 37-year-old man after an 11-year-old girl gave birth to a baby boy.
The young girl went into labour at Hillingdon Hospital in west London on May 5.
She and her baby have been taken into the care of Hillingdon Borough Council, a spokesman for the local authority said.
They are now both the subject of care proceedings, he added.
The girl, who is thought to be from Africa, had gone to the hospital complaining of stomach pains but went into labour as she sat on the toilet, The Sun reported.
A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said officers arrested the 37-year-old man at a house in Uxbridge, west London, yesterday.
He has been been bailed to return to a west London police station in July while officers from the force's child abuse team continue their investigation.
