UK's youngest gran at 30 hits back at trolls after daughter had baby aged 14

A woman who is believed to be Britain's youngest gran at age 30 has slammed trolls who attack her daughter for giving birth at 14-years-old.

Kelly Healey opened up about becoming a young nan after daughter Skye Salter welcomed her son Bailey into the world three years ago - while she still a child herself.

She also thinks her own mum could be the UK's youngest great-gran, as she was only 48 when the baby boy was born, according to the Mirror.

But the family have faced harsh judgement and cruel comments from online haters, who lambast Kelly for not properly informing her daughter about contraception.

The mum-of-five says she did talk to Skye about safe sex and relationships - but the schoolgirl wasn't sexually active at the time.

Skye herself had no idea she was pregnant until she was more than eight months gone.

She only found out she was expecting while at the sexual health clinic to discuss contraception.

There she was given a pregnancy test which revealed the shocking news.

The young mum-to-be said she was stunned by the news and had been taking part in PE lessons at school having no idea she was weeks away from becoming a parent.

Both mum Kelly and daughter Skye said they did not care what people online had said about their lives after they spoke out.

Skye, who turns 18 next month, said: "I knew it would come, but people have no idea what goes on behind closed doors.

"I don't think about them. They didn't know I existed a few days ago and I'm not going to worry about what they are saying, they don't know me.

"I'm proud of myself and the mum I am. They aren't the one raising my child, I am."

Skye said bringing up her young son for the past three years has been hard, but worth it.

"It has been a struggle, but I just had to be the best version of myself for Bailey," she added.

Mum Kelly from Feltham, London said that her daughter is an amazing mum and she is proud of what she has achieved.

She said: "Skye is very mature for her age and she has done amazingly well.

"She carried on going to school while I looked after Bailey.

"She got her GCSEs and hair and beauty qualifications, she's now doing really well on Tik Tok and has thousands of followers.

"She wants to start her driving lessons and once Bailey goes to school in September she wants to look at a job as a carer for disabled children."
