Wow. They were all in it for the money. Who would've thought people of such high integrity and strong moral compass could sink so low? Maybe next time the media might do a little verification before running with such a story.

My money still says there's no way Alfie is the father. But now I am curious!

I guess it says wonderful things about society that creating a story like this is perceived as valuable.

I guess their scam worked.

[acoulterfan]

Do the DNA, FOLKS, sheesh!

[umgud]

The poor mkid coulda been on the child support hook.

[darkangel82]

The kid looks all of 9 years old. We already knew there was no way he was the father.

[bgill]

Uh, ok, I’ll bite. Why is a teenage pregnancy in the news? I’m guessing this Alfie dude is a celeb or something?

[Radagast the Fool]

Yeah! What’s it all about, Alfie?

[Krankor]

What’s it all about...?

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Six (6) other potential Fathers and she’s 15?

Sensationalism over morality.

“Why is a teenage pregnancy in the news? I’m guessing this Alfie dude is a celeb or something?”

Because they intend to get rid of the pesky laws against adult child sex, just like parts of Europe.

It became news when the Daily Mail took this teen mother's word that the pre-pubescent, 4' tall Alfie Patten was the father and ran with it. People were shocked at how a boy who hadn't even hit puberty could sire children. Turns out it isn't true (or at least won't be true once a paternity test is administered).

This story is also news as it hit the press the same time Octomom did just as both countries are experiencing an economic crisis. Both stories served to highlight the vast resources spent on welfare for non-working baby machines as tax paying citizens are struggling to get by.

Just as I said. That boy could tug on his wiener for the next 2 years before he’d ever squeeze a droplet of spirit out of himself. Just like Butters.

Here's the father:

[darkangel82]

That was not necessary.

[stayathomemom]

This story and the story of the unmarried woman with 14 children should be the poster children of why the stimulus package and socialism is wrong.

His nickname certainly wasn't "Woody" was it?

[fieldmarshaldj]

How are they going to test him for paternity, anyway ? He still ain’t producin’. They’d have to do a blood test.
