A toddler who was born after a 15-year-old boy got his 13-year-old sister pregnant is to be adopted, a High Court judge has ruled.
The two-year-old boy, who was born to the siblings in Northern Ireland in 2012, will be put up for adoption after Mr Justice O'Hara agreed to a freeing order.
Sitting in the High Court in Belfast, the judge ruled that the mother - who is now 16 - was incapable of giving consent for adoption herself.
The girl's brother, who initially disputed that he was the father but was found to be so after a DNA test confirmed his paternity, was barely involved in the proceedings.
Mr Justice O'Hara's verdict came after he described the case as 'depressing' and 'hugely unsatisfactory'.
The hearing heard how both the mother and son, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were taken into care after the birth but were sent to different foster homes.
