13 Year-Old Becomes a Dad!
 
No, this didn't come from Florida!

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...cle2233878.ece

"Alfie’s dad Dennis yesterday told how the lad does not really understand the enormity of his situation — but seemed desperate to be a devoted and responsible father. "

Springeresque antics have ensued already. Several "lads" have come forward alleging that they're really the baby daddy.

Discuss. He looks so little! :(

I'm putting my "mean hat" on for this one. Has anyone seen his face? He looks like he's 7 yrs old!! Where are all these insane people coming from lately???

Munchkin...not to take away from this and I am not being crass or anything...but this isn't surprising anymore.

This is a testament really to how how child rearing is spiralling out of control in this world.

Sadly , we hear about teen mothers who get pregnant so why should we be surprised that this teen mother got preganant by a 13 year old boy?

What are we teaching these kids?

Because hey, if they are going to have sex early, this is the result.

Maybe we should be shocked that the girl is 15 and he was 12 at the time...

This whole story is crazy to me, but especially the part about Alfie's estranged dad showing up wearing a devil mask...what?!?!

I'm not surprised by what happened--teenagers have kids all the time. But, what surprises me is how the UK media has gone full hog over it. That and the fact that he looks 8.

The whole thing is crazy. Did you see Alfie's mom? Loved the Chanel shades she was rocking out.

The Chanel shades?

Word.


it's crazy, but it just gives more reason now why we have to do what we can with our kids to raise them up right so that they won't wind up in the papers for stuff that happens enough that it sometimes doesn't warrant a news story...Iguess i would have been more surprised if the boy hadn't hit double digits or something.

The only thing I find surprising is that a boy who doesn't look like he has even started to go through puberty yet is capable biologically...

He doesn't look like he has even started to go through second grade, yet along puberty. One of the articles quoted a UK doctor who said that 10-12 is about the point where sperm starts to be released with emissions; it has been reported to happen to 6 year-olds. Ewww!

The line-up of wannabe fathers is surprising to me.

DaemonSeid 02-17-2009 02:06 PM

Ladies...I have to say it...and I have to say it this way because it becomes clear and makes the shock a little less:

"I don't care how old he looks, the boy still has a dick."

I didn't know it could do anything! :rolleyes: LOOK AT HIM DAEMONSEID.

Congratulations! It looks like the little tyke is getting off to an early start in combating the U.K.'s atrocious birth rate. Good for him.

According to the tabs, once she's 16, she can drop out of school and claim not only the baby as a dependent, but HER BOYFRIEND AS WELL. That way, she'll get pushed to the top of the council housing list, AND she gets welfare like she's a single mum with two kids!

Both of the kids grew up on the dole, so I guess this isn't too surprising that their parents know how to work the system...at least it's not my tax dollars!

I didn't think so either, but I didn't think that about girls either. And then I met a 9 year old girl who was pregnant. Now, not a lot of these young pregnancies surprise me.
