dad at 13
AT first glance, Alfie Patten looks like a young lad proudly welcoming his new baby sister into the world. [1]
As he went on the PlayStation with 15-year-old girlfriend Chantelle Steadman, he added: “I think we’ll be good parents. [2]
… the fact of the matter is that the young lad has just two days ago become the father of 7lb 3oz Maisie Roxanne, a child that he has with 15 year-old girlfriend Chantelle Steadman. [3]
Baby-faced Alfie, who is 13 but looks more like eight, became a father four days ago when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to 7lb 3oz Maisie Roxanne. [1]
The girl complained of stomach aches, and the doctor gave her a pregnancy test. [...] It seems that he has grown very fond of the little girl, and their doctors and parents say that he has been at the hospital all day, caring for both his girlfriend and child. [...] He hasn’t got a clue of what the baby means and can’t explain how he feels. [3]
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. [1]
In the photos released by British newspaper The Sun, 13 year-old Alfie Patten is seen holding what at first glance would seem to be his sister. [3]
But they kept it a secret until six weeks later when Chantelle’s mum Penny, 38, became suspicious about her weight gain and confronted her. [...] To learn this baby-faced child is actually the father of the newborn shocked me to the core. [1]
All he knows is mum and dad will help. [...] When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble. [3]
“I hope that somehow these children grow up into responsible parents but the truth is parenthood is just not something they should be thinking about right now.” [1]
But he has been at the hospital every day,” Alfie’s father, Dennis Patten, said and added that he was surprised of the interest his son took in his daughter and of the fact that the little boy would rather spend his days at the hospital than doing something else at home. [3]
