Father at 13

From this article:

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.

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

He said: “He loves computer games, boxing and Manchester United.” Dennis, who has fathered nine kids, told how he was “gobsmacked” when he discovered Alfie was to be a dad, too.

He said: “When I spoke to him he started crying. He said it was the first time he’d had sex, that he didn’t know what he was doing and of the complications that could come.

“I will talk to him again and it will be the birds and the bees talk. Some may say it’s too late but he needs to understand so there is not another baby.”

He's got 9 kids and he's shocked that his son is following in his footsteps??

Ah...The Sun. Isn't that along the same lines as the National Enquirer? (Not that I don't believe a 13 yr. old can have a kid.)

I'm always amazed at this scenario. People shocked by teen pregnancy. If it gets hard, or wet, it can cause trouble.

There is a great deal here about the 13 y/o dad, but not so much about his OLDER "girlfriend" screwing a TWELVE YEAR OLD!!
