Alfie Patton; 13 year old father

A 13-year-old British boy has fathered a child with his 15-year-old girlfriend, according to British newspaper The Sun.

Baby-faced Alfie Patton, became a dad when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to a baby girl Maisie Roxanne Monday.

Alfie Patton is pictured with his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman and their newly born daughter. 13-year-old Alfie became Britain's one of the youngest fathers after his girlfriend gave birth to a baby girl on Monday, the Sun reported.

Alfie was just 12 when he impregnated Chantelle, then 14, the Sun said.

The boy, who looks more like he's 8, not 13, vowed to be a good father.

"I didn't think about how we would afford it. I don't really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me 10 pounds (21 U. S. dollars)," the innocent-eyed teenager from Eastbourne, south England, told the newspaper.

"When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble ... I didn't know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it."

Chantelle and the baby are living with Penny, Chantelle's jobless dad Steve, 43, and her five brothers in a rented council house in Eastbourne. The family live on benefits.

Alfie, who lives on an estate across town with mum Nicola, 43, spends most of his time at the Steadmans' house.

The kicker is that young Alfie has 7 other teenage boys rivalling his claim, saying that they are the father of Maisie.

This Chantelle seems a little too popular, wouldn't you say?

It is unbelievable! But I have a friend who was a father at 13 also. He had another child with the girlfriend when he was 15 and they didn't get married until they finished high school. Later they divorced. I about dropped my teeth when I heard he has a 35 year old daughter and he's 48!

Guess it happens more than we know!
And in the end...The love you take..Is equal to the love you make.

List of youngest birth mothers

Age 5
1939: Lina Medina of Paurange, Peru gave birth to a 2.7 kg son (5.9 lb), Gerardo, by caesarean section on May 14, 1939 in Lima at the age of 5 years, 7 months and 21 days. Her parents, who assumed their daughter had a tumour, took her to a hospital, where she was determined to be seven months pregnant. Although Medina's father was arrested on suspicion of rape, he was later released due to lack of evidence, and the identity of who impregnated Medina was never uncovered.

Age 8
2006: A girl from Huánuco, Peru, gave birth to a baby weighing 2 kg (4.4 lb) by caesarean section at a hospital in Lima in December 2006. Her ninth birthday occurred a couple of days later. She became pregnant after being raped by two of her cousins.

Age 9
1957: Hilda Trujillo gave birth to a girl weighing over 6 lb (2.7 kg) at a hospital in Lima, Peru in December 1957. Her 22-year-old cousin, who was staying in her family's one-room house at the time, was arrested for rape.
2004: A Singaporean girl gave birth to a boy in 2004 after being impregnated by a fellow student at her school. Her mother initially thought she had a urinary tract infection, but, upon taking her to the doctor, learned she was already six months pregnant. The baby was given up for adoption.
2005: A girl gave birth to a baby boy by caesarean section at a hospital in Butare, Rwanda in December 2005. The child, who underwent breast development at age six and menarche at age eight, became pregnant after being raped by her family's domestic servant.
2006: A girl of the Apurinã, an indigenous people from the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, gave birth to a baby girl weighing 2.2 kg (4.8 lb) by caesarean section at a hospital in Manaus in July 2006. Police are investigating the case.

Age 10
1834: Sally Deweese of Butler County, Kentucky, was reported by Dr. D. Rowlett to have delivered a baby girl weighing 7.75 pounds (3.52 kg) on April 20, 1834. Deweese allegedly developed breasts within weeks of birth and began menstruating at 12 months.
2000: A girl from Bolivia gave birth to a baby girl weighing 2.5 kilograms (5.5 lb) by caesarean section at a hospital in Parque Patricios, Buenos Aires, Argentina on September 25, 2007. A 28-year-old was arrested on a charge of rape.
2005: A girl from Calama, Chile gave birth to a baby boy by caesarean section at a hospital in Antofagasta, Chile on April 13, 2005. The child became pregnant after having been raped by her father at age nine. Her parents, who both came from Bolivia, were jailed.
2005: A girl gave birth to a baby girl at a hospital in Sion, Switzerland in August 2005. She had immigrated to Switzerland from Cameroon with her siblings when her mother married a Swiss citizen. A 68-year-old man who was in a relationship with the mother admitted to having molested the girl but a DNA test found that he was not the father of the girl's child.
2006: A girl in Abbeville, South Carolina gave birth by caesarean section in 2006 after having been raped by then-26-year-old William Edward Ronca. Ronca admitted to having molested the girl over a two year period and was sentenced to 25 years in prison as a result. The baby was given for adoption.
2006: A girl from Charleroi, Belgium gave birth in 2006. After the child began gaining weight, her mother put her on a diet, but when the girl visited a doctor, it was discovered that she was nine months pregnant. The father was a then-13-year-old boy who attended the same school as the girl. News of the birth did not become publicly known until 2007.
2006: A girl from Jaral del Progreso, Guanajuato, Mexico gave birth naturally to a baby girl weighing 2.3 kilograms (5.1 lb) on April 3, 2006. She became pregnant after being raped by a 47-year-old neighbour, who was sentenced to 11 years, 6 months in prison for the crime.
2007: A girl from San Lorenzo Cacaotepec, Oaxaca, Mexico gave birth to a baby boy on July 2, 2007. Her pregnancy was the result of a rape committed by the 65-year-old landlord of the house which her parents rented. The man was jailed.
2008: In St. Anthony, Idaho, U.S., a girl gave birth to a 6 pounds (2.7 kg) baby at Madison Memorial Hospital. 37-year-old Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez was jailed on one felony count of rape.

I think this 15 years old person is sick to have sex with a 13 years old boy. When I was 15 I was thinking of 30 years old guys.

When I was in high school there was a girl and her boyfriend that had a nearly 4 yr old son. They were both about 13 when he was born. They loved their son very much and talked about him often. I don't know if they ever go married but their mother's, hers in particular, loved being grandmas too.

is now a happily married woman x
he wants to take a DNA test so does he REALLY think the baby could be he's???????

some people have said the mother is a sl*t for the amount of people 'she' supposed to have slept with - If it was other way round - the lads would be called a stud - but they should of all been arrested for statutory rape because they are all under age - but there again nothin would be against the mum due to under british law under 16's girls (unless proven) cannot be tried over this offence either

Ironically it looks like his parents were quite a bit older before they had him.

This is not good but at least they seem to be attempting to be responsible about it. Again another child has been brought into this world. This should not be punished for a mistake.

I recently heard my mum say it was wrong sex ed was taught in schools at p6- 7 level (10-11 yrs old) but clearly its as good a time as any. There needs to be more understanding. Parents def need to take more of a role. when my mum said she thought that I was in shock coz I still have never had a conversation with her about sex and consequences etc. Its down to my school, word of mouth from friends and things and for a lot of people they need more than that to know about this subject.

This poor girl and boy though. Of course the papers are instantly managing to do their job of making her be portrayed as a slag or whatever

50-100 years ago it was quite common for 12-13 year old girls to get married and begin to have children. My dad's mother was 12 when she got married and 13 when my Aunt Florine was born. My dad was the youngest of 16 and they all lived in a one-room house on a farm.

yes, and all these age limits are products of society. I'm not saying that right now these kids are capable of raising a kid of their own, but with proper education they could. I might not agree with that (because I believe it's too early and they're deprived of life), but it's not all that uncommon.

I think humans have been doing that for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

5 years old mothers are not common but 10, 12 years old is common specially in the countryside places of the world. Unfortunately these cases are often related to rape. I agree with Olia about age limits being a product of society just like everything else.

Now can we teach these kids how to use birth control and how to put on a condom? I know the little horndogs are going to go at it when they shouldn't, so if they are, they need to be taught these things.
