AN Oklahoma mom has been arrested after her 12-year-old daughter gave birth to her 24-year-old "boyfriend's" baby – with her family even hosting a baby shower.

Tulsa police arrested Desiree Castaneda for allegedly allowing and encouraging her pre-teen daughter to have a relationship with Juan Miranda-Jara.

According to Tulsa police, Miranda-Jara was surprised when officers showed up to arrest him at the hospital where his victim was giving birth on July 14.

"They walked in just like any other couple would excited to deliver their newborn child," Tulsa Police Officer Danny Bean told Fox23.

Bean added Miranda-Jara and the girl showed up to Hillcrest Hospital when she was in mid-labor, with Miranda-Jara proudly telling police he was the father.

The man apparently seemed annoyed police were involved.

The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16.

"We don’t get this kind of call every day," Bean said. "It certainly was a surprise for everyone involved."

The Tulsa Police Department shared the horrifying details of their investigation that led to Castaneda's arrest.

"At the time, we received many questions along the lines of, 'Where were the parents?'" the department said.

"A few weeks ago, we told you about the arrest of 24-year-old Juan Miranda-Jara.

"He was arrested for 1st Degree Rape after a 12-year-old girl gave birth to his child in a midtown hospital.

"The investigation revealed that the victim's mother and family members were aware of the relationship between the victim and Miranda-Jara.

"The family permitted the relationship, and there are photos of the family throwing a baby shower for the victim and the suspect."

"We don’t believe this is incest at this time," Bean said, but added police are still investigating their relationship and how the girl was able to carry a child through full-term pregnancy without anyone reporting it to the police.

Police charged Castaneda with enabling child sex abuse and neglect.

The victim’s father is behind bars on a 12-year prison sentence for an unrelated case of first-degree rape, cops said.
