British Schoolboy, Aged 13, Becomes One Of World's Youngest Fathers
DAILY MAIL REPORTER 03rd October 2009
A schoolboy aged 13 has become one of Britain's youngest fathers, it was revealed today.
The boy, from Manchester, was 'chuffed to bits' after his 16-year-old girlfriend gave birth to a baby girl this week, according to his family.
'My son is mature for his age and will make a good father. He will make a better dad than most 25-year-old men would,' his father told the Daily Mirror.
The young couple's identity cannot be revealed for legal reasons.
They are said to have been in a relationship for some time, although they did not go to the same school. His father added: 'He isn't bewildered about about what has happened. He was a bit shocked at first but now he's chuffed to bits.'
Earlier this year another 13-year-old, Alfie Patten, from Eastbourne in East Sussex, was believed to have become a father after his 15-year-old girlfriend conceived.
But DNA tests later showed that another 15-year-old was the father. Britain has the worst teenage pregnancy rate in Europe, with an estimated around 43,000 teenage mothers created in England every year.
This latest case comes after new measures to deal with teenage pregnancies announced by Gordon Brown this week.

Didn’t they just try to get one of these past us? Turned out the girl was impregnated by her Step father or something.

Totally accurate. It is about so much more than just “being” a good dad. Its so all about feelings... How the hell don’t they see that he would have made a better dad if he was more responsible than lying down with a girl at 13?
