13-year-old Father vows to Become good Papa

13-year-old father vows to become good parent

The birth of a child fathered by a 13-year-old boy has sparked an uproar in Britain.

Alfie Patten, who was only 12 when the baby was conceived with his girlfriend, Chantelle Steadman, 15, was first pictured on the front of Friday’s tabloid Sun newspaper with his daughter, Maisie Roxanne, after her birth Monday.

He told the newspaper that he thought “it would be good to have a baby.”

“I didn’t think about how we would afford it. I don’t really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10. When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried about how people would react. I didn’t know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it.”

Chantelle, meanwhile, said, “I’m tired after the birth. I was nervous after going into labor, but otherwise I was quite excited.”

    It’s dilematic problem of abortion prohibition when free sex still becoming a culture. I doubt that the younger boy could effort play his role as father, considering his age.
