A Dad At 13?




On February 9th, 2009, 15 year old Chantelle Steadman, of the UK, gave birth to a 7lb 3oz baby girl that she and the father, 13 year old, Alfie Patten named Maisie Roxanne. All I have to say is where were the parents? Supposedly Chantelle’s mother was frequently letting Alfie stay the night over their house. But where was his mother why didn’t she say no my son can’t stay at your house? The “couple” found out about the pregnancy at 12 weeks and decided to not abort the baby; a decision anti-abortion groups are commending.
When Chantelle got pregnant Alfie was only 12 years old. Looking at him you would never guess he was 13, he looks 7 or 8. When asked how they are going to financially support Maisie, Alfie asked what financially means! Hopefully he figures it out soon. Alfie’s dad, Dennis, says it’s time to have the birds and the bees talk with him. It’s a kind of late to be just now talking to him about sex but since it was supposedly Alfie’s first time maybe it can’t hurt. That has to suck though; first time up at bat and now you have a kid.
On the other hand, I give this little dude a lot of credit, he was there for the birth and really wants to step up and be a dad. I just hope they make it through this and that all of the responsibility doesn’t fall on their parents.
Moral of the story… WRAP IT UP!
