Baby-Faced Boy Becomes A Father

Posted by Madeline Holler at 8:30 AM on February 16, 2009

Alfie Patten looks like he’s eight years old. He’s actually 13 (just barely). He’s also a father. Four days ago, his girlfriend gave birth.

The boy-faced dad — he’s four-feet tall — says he’s happy to be a father and committed to raising his daughter. Also, he’s not really sure how much nappies cost.

Little Alfie said this when asked about people’s reaction to his 15-year-old girlfriend Chantelle Steadman’s pregancy (from The Sun):

“I didn’t know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it.”

By “it,” Alfie means his daughter Maisie Roxanne.

The boy’s father says he’s been to the hospital everyday since Maisie’s birth and that he seems desperate to be a good father. But that he also doesn’t have a clue what that entails. Alfie also has no income, not even an allowance!

The couple only had sex once. And writers for The Sun say this is hardly testimony for Great Britain’s super expensive sex education program.
