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

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Apparently he has reached puberty.

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

I am speechless.....

Ditto. Good luck to them all.

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.

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...

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.

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

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.'”

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..

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