A 13-YEAR-OLD boy has become a father in Britain. The mum is just 15.
Alfie Patten was present four days ago when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to Maisie Roxanne in Eastbourne Hospital, East Sussex, The Sun reports.
“I thought it would be good to have a baby," Alfie told the major UK paper.
“I didn’t think about how we would afford it. I don’t really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10 ($21).”
Alfie, who lives with with his mum, admitted he did not know how much nappies cost: “I think it’s a lot.”
Alfie, who was 12 when Maisie was conceived, and Chantelle decided not to have an abortion and had kwpt the pregnancy secret until at 18 weeks Chantelle's mum noticed the weight gain.
“When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble," Alfie said.
"We wanted to have the baby but were worried how people would react
“I didn’t know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it.”
Alfie’s father Dennis, who is separated from the family, said his son did not seem to appreciate what he had got himself into but at least he had taken responsible attitude.
Alfie had been present at the birth and has been keen to cuddle and hold his child.
"He could have shrugged his shoulders and sat at home on his Playstation.
"But he has been at the hospital every day,” Mr Patten said.
Chantelle defends herself and Alfie from accusations they are being irresponsible.
“We know we made a mistake but I wouldn’t change it now," Chantelle says.
"We will be good loving parents.
“I have started a church course and I am going to do work experience helping other young mums.
“I’ll be a great mum and Alfie will be a great dad.”
Chantelle and Maisie were released from hospital yesterday and will be living with her family who are supported by welfare payments.

I have a feeling it will be these two kids parents that will end up raising the child.

Oh my god he looks 8 - 10, not 13! I find it kind of sick that the 15yo girl would be attracted to someone who looked that young! Yuck.

How is he even developed? like....

Lol...i'd do a DNA test to see if he is actually the father.

How can he even make semen lol

That's strange. And it clearly isn't very sensible on a financial level. My brother is 12, and I don't think he'd really have a good idea of what is involved in raising a family, but the 15 year old mother should know better.
-
Very. Fucked. Up.
-
This is fucked up right here

Poor kid. (the youngest one)
Imagine looking through baby photos when she's older ... "I HAD A BROTHER?"
-
This is seriously fucked up. Something is very wrong.
What kind of life is that child going to be living.. I assume they'll get help but still, wtf.
-
Horrible, absolutely horrible.
-

I agree, it will be like raising another one of their children, rather than a grand child :|
This is terrible.
-
Haha the world is so fucked up right now.
-
This is absolutely shocking and disturbing and the pics make it even worse.

it got worse lol, man she's one messed up girl and he's one messed up boy. you gotta feel for the child and his future life though. it'll be unusual to say the least.

I don't see it as intrinsically immoral, 13 yr olds having sex and being parents; that said, it is most usually a highly problematic occurrence for the individuals involved. There's also a possible side-effect, outlined here:
"Alfie’s story will be bought and spread across the gutter-press because it is ‘in the public interest,’ and then guess what? Children of eleven will be pushed into having sex by families hoping they`ll have a baby and so, a story to sell. But if the gutter press had any conscience, sense of public duty or morality they would not buy such stories, not now, not ever and they would say so, loud and clear."

I don't understand why Richard Goodsell would even come out publicly saying that he is the "real" dad... Unless if he's in it for the money...

Though News of the World is sorta like our Herald Sun (you can sorta tell from the language they use), so I'd take that claim with a pinch of salt.
