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!

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.

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.

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."

This just upsets me. Very sad, but as DS said, not surprising.

LOL.
Nothing surprises me at all with kids anymore.
I went into my GYN's office for an appt and sat next to a pregnant 13 year old.
It was so ridiculous because here she is like 8 months pregnant and she really is JUST a kid. I mean, she called her mom "Mommy" still.
I remember her trying to fill out the paperwork and such and having her mom fill it out because she "didn't know how." She had to ask, "Mommy, am I allergic to anything??"
I kept thinking, wow, she has no clue what she's gotten herself into.

This may be what's different about teen motherhood these days. I think it's always been around, but that in the past there was as assumption that if a person was pregnant that she needed to mature fast enough to take on a maternal role OR plan on giving the baby up to be raised by someone else.
And now, in a lot of the families where a teenage girl gets pregnant, the teenagers stays in her child role but the family also keeps the kid around.
The only reason why I'd judge it as being worse is that it seems often to completely cut fathers out of the loop. In this case in Britain it makes sense if the dad is this young, but not in cases when the parents are a little older.
