BOY dad Alfie Patten yesterday admitted he does not know how much nappies cost — but said: “I think it’s a lot.”

[GSP.FAN]

Baby-faced Alfie, who is 13 but looks more like eight, became a father four days ago when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to 7lb 3oz Maisie Roxanne.

Pic at site....I am at a loss for words.

How does a boy who has not reached puberty have sperm that is viable? Is he really the father?

[txnativegop]

speechless

[madison10]

The youngster does look much younger than 13. They look more like siblings than father and daughter. IMO, his girlfriend should have known better, she’s older.

[ClearCase_guy]

When I saw the second picture, I thought the itty-bitty 13-year-old boy was with his mom. Turns out she's his 15-yr-old girlfriend.

I guess she likes 'em real young.

[InvisibleChurch]

Why is he posing for pictures? Doesn’t anyone have any shame anymore?

[OneWingedShark]

Well, I have to say that wile he may be just a kid, he’s been showing a lot more maturity and righteousness than many teenagers and young adults over here.

I’m glad that they’re trying to do the right thing at least, from where they are now.

[exist]

I normally support any young man decision to get down— but that chick is way too ugly to ruin your life over.

How does a boy who has not reached puberty have sperm that is viable?

Apparently he has reached puberty.

[azishot]

Just can’t wrap my brain around this...

[tioga]

I am speechless.....

[VicVega]

Ditto. Good luck to them all.

[Lizavetta]

[TheBattman]

I am calling “BS” on this.

First - the “source” is “The Sun”.... Strike one (and maybe two!)
Second, there is no way that kid is the father. I strongly suspect he hasn’t even hit puberty.
Third... no outcry? Please.

Until I see a DNA test that proves the child is the baby’s father, I won’t be convinced.

[GSP.FAN]

Thanks that cheered me up,my 4 month old has a cold and dealing with her is very challenging at the moment.
Thinking of a 13 yr old rearing a clild was a shock
Poor Child...

[svcw]

The other story I read said he had no adult male characteristics like facial or body hair and his voice had not changed, which would lead one to believe he has not reached puberty.

[Cyber Ninja]

your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.

[Albion Wilde]

From the article:

"Last night Michaela Aston, of the anti-abortion Christian charity LIFE, said: 'We commend these teenagers for their courage in bringing their child into the world. At the same time this is symptomatic of the over-sexualisation of our youngsters and shows the policy of value-free sex education just isn’t working.'”

[emphasis mine]

[GSP.FAN]

Did you forget to insert a sarcasm tag..
First they told us it is ok for single mothers to have kids,now it’s ok for children to have kids..

[hinckley buzzard]

Pic reminds me of Barack Obama, only smarter and more mature.

[darkangel82]

He looks 10. No way he’s the father.

[unkus]

“Just can’t wrap my brain around this...”

That boy sure.... Oh, I’d better not say it.

[Julia H.]

If this were the Middle Ages, we’d all be saying “whoop-de-freaking-doo.”

[politicalmerc]

At 13 he has surely reached puberty.

[svcw]

The other story I read said he had no adult male characteristics like facial or body hair and his voice had not changed, which would lead one to believe he has not reached puberty.

[fieldmarshaldj]

He looks 8 or 9, and I call shenanigans on this, too. That 15-year old girl looks past 20 and ain’t no prize (I’ll bet “daddy” is some adult male she hooked up with). I don’t believe that child could even produce sperm, yet. Undersized as he is, it’s unlikely he will for at least a few more years.

[darkangel82]

Agreed. I looked more mature at 12 than this supposed “thirteen” year old.

[fieldmarshaldj]

The article claimed the “conception” was when he was 12. I was undersized when I was that age, but not that undersized, but I looked around 9 or 10 when I was 12 and believe me, I could not have fathered a child. It wasn’t physically possible. As I said, I think the girl got knocked up by an adult male and this poor boy took the blame.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

one word.. ADOPTION...

[DivaDelMar]

I wouldn’t bet he’s the father. Rather, I suspect the mother had other partners and one of them is the father. That boy is a baby himself. I would call for a DNA test.

[GSP.FAN]

One word.
REALITY TV SHOW.

[politicalmerc]

I guess that’s possible.

[politicalmerc]

I believe sperm are still viable. Who knows. I could be wrong.

[Quix]

As kids are doing younger and younger.

I read somewhere that a girl age 8 had given birth.

[PLMerite]

Don’t post a picture like that without some kind of explanation... :)

[353FMG]

A DNA test would be appropriate.

Sean, 12, is the youngest father.
Sean Stewart became the youngest father in Britain yesterday when his girlfriend gave birth to a healthy son.

Sean, 12 last month, was allowed to miss school to be at the bedside of his 16-year-old girlfriend, Emma Webster, her parents, Ray and Shirley, and Sean’s mother, Theresa. The pair, who are neighbours at Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, were 11 and 15 when Emma became pregnant. Sean and his mother moved next door to the Websters in November 1996 and he became Emma’s boyfriend shortly after that. He is a 7th year at Margaret Beaufort School in the nearby village of Riseley. Emma is studying for her GCSEs - including one in child care - at Sharnbrook Upper School.

This was back in 1998..

[ClearCase_guy]

Jethro Tull needs no explanation!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Absolutely.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The youngest girl ever to give birth was 5 and a half. As a boy can produce sperm from birth I suppose that a boy could father a child as soon as he can ejaculate.

[shoutingandpointing]

I would have pre-emptively told this boy the same as I told my own, the same as my dad (key word there) told me: “If you ever in any way defile any father's precious flower I will personally deliver you to his doorstep, and then I will deal with whatever may be left of you when he is finished.”

I maintain that "My daughters will be the women they become, but they will always be their daddy's little girls, no matter how old they are." I am not at all shy about making sure this is common knowledge. ;)

Other than that this kid is a prime candidate for my favorite Latin phrase:
“Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem.”

(In the good old days, children like you were left to perish on windswept crags.)

[JudyinCanada]

I am joining you in that BS call. No way, don’t believe it.

[GeronL]

publik skools/ liberal media

they love it

making kids into sex objects is where its at in Hollywood

sick culture

[GeronL]

shame??

in this society there is no shame at all

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

You’re correct he forgot the headline;

“Little Milton In Schoolgirl Pregnancy Row”

[tbw2]

The 15 year old girl should go away for sexual abuse of a child. And her own child should be placed for adoption in a home with a minimum of 1 legal adult.

[Quix]

Interesting

and incredible.

thanks.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Here's the explanation;

[iowamark]

According to the article, the mom is one of six kids and the dad is one of nine. Certainly not the typical anti-child Brits!

[Quix]

Kind of leaves one wondering what level incest activity was before this!

Sigh.
