13-year old British boy becomes father

BEIJING: A 13-year-old British boy has fathered a child with his 15-year-old girlfriend, according to a British newspaper.

Baby-faced Alfie Patton, became a dad when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to a baby girl Maisie Roxanne Monday.

Alfie was just 12 when he impregnated Chantelle, then 14.

The boy, who looks more like he's 8, not 13, vowed to be a good father.

"I didn't think about how we would afford it. I don't really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me 10 pounds (21 U. S. dollars)," the innocent-eyed teenager from Eastbourne, south England, told the newspaper.

"When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble ... I didn't know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it."

Chantelle and the baby are living with Penny, Chantelle's jobless dad Steve, 43, and her five brothers in a rented council house in Eastbourne. The family live on benefits.

Alfie, who lives on an estate across town with mum Nicola, 43, spends most of his time at the Steadmans' house.

and as Adey pointed out it was proven he was not the father.

My thoughts are my own, but I doubt my Mum would agree with some of them.

Now, how Civilized would that be? I really wonder! the message that is going to be delivered to the World?

It is Uncivilized to even Publish such story without

blaming the parents for what has occurred.

Anyway, if an Arab or a Muslim Did the Same thing Europeans might even consider them to be violating human rights and we might see it on CNN.

Alfie Patten was believed to be Britain's youngest father after his 15-year-old girlfriend, Chantelle Steadman, gave birth to baby girl Maisie. But then many other boys claimed they also slept with the mother, who had previously said that Alfie was the only boy she had slept with. As a result, Alfie took a DNA test, which indicated that he's not the father.

I blame the parents. He was allowed to sleep over all the time at the girlfriends house. What did they expect was going to happen. Stupid parents are now stupid grandparents. Poor British taxpayers are supporting the whole idiotic clan.

I seriously doubt they will be getting married, they have already made one mistake - no need to compound the problem! :)
