Father at 13


I was amazed to see the photo of 'Alfie Patten' the father at 13...I mean he looked like a baby himself!But what I was more amazed at was the public reaction; The sun paid a million pound to the boy and his family for exclusive coverage of him and the newborn, 'Maisy'. I didn't understand why the media are encouraging such behaviour in young people, Young boys and girls are watching this young dad turn into a little celebrity for something as immoral as teenage sex. A question that raised in my mind is are we promoting teenage sex or highlighting the consequences of it??

(The Sun) 'What a damning indictment on Britain’s hugely expensive sex education programme in schools', my point exactly. All these years focusing on teenage sex and drugs and this is what its led to?a teenage father that has barely hit puberty himself. And yet Britain’s youngest known father is Sean Stewart. He became a dad at 12 when the girl next door, 15-year-old Emma Webster, gave birth in Sharnbrook, Bedford, in 1998. They split six months later...

Now the question is where does the responsibility lie???
