Are they 100 percent sure that he's the father? I just find it hard to believe that a 13 year old boy got a 15 year old girl pregnant. I think she got knocked up by an older guy and is trying to put it on this kid. They asked him how would he support the baby financially and he didn't even know what it meant. But that's just my opinion. Either way it's an odd story.

Hello my dear ShortyAkbar Ji, So nice of your positive and immediate response. It is time for him to play in street, and he has lot of burdon as a father, which he thinks to discharge. I think, you have a point, that it might have been thrashed upon and cooked up a story. Time it is time to wake up. may god bless you and have great time.

Hello my dear SHAMRACK Ji, I think lot many speed -breakers have to be erected while parenting, where child should only be exposed to minimum facts and not to tell them to do practical. may god bless you and have great time.

I also have some information about the news.And the news explain some phenomena: Britain has 39000 aged below 18 years of teenage pregnancy,in which girls under the age of 16 up to as many as 7000 people,aged between 15 and 19-year-old girl's pregnancy rate was 2.7%. However,compared withe the United Kingdom,The united States a higher pregnancy rate of female minors,reaching about 4.4%. So awful society,I think the British government should strengthen the concept of minors.

We have read that too on the newspapers. And we are really shocked at how kids these days are doing inappropriate things concerning their age. I think it has created critics to people to who knows how hard life is. I thank God for every babies He gave to us. But the question for these two kids, they are so young to handle responsibilities in life. Would they start to earn for the future of their kids while they are still at school, which they are suppose to study first. I think these kids think they are grown up people. In reality, they would suffer the consequences of not obeying their parents. And they are too young to handle baby and to work hard for that baby's future too when theirs is still unstable.

I learned that news from a friend yesterday and I was really shocked. I couldn't believe that a boy at a very such young age would be a father. I don't know what's with the kids these days. Are they too advanced and hurriedly do that "act" or uneducated and tried to explore each other without thinking of the consequences? I actually feel sorry for him because he couldn't do those things like normal kids at his own age do.

[b]Hello my dear semispoiledgurl Ji, and rakeshmadupu Ji,[/b] The situation is getting out of control, think our society needs total sea-change and we should adopt our 100 yrs old culture. Avoid this topic in front of teen-agers and youngsters as well. may God bless you and have a great time.

Isn't that the craziest thing! Yeah, he said he was going to be a good father, but he didn't have a clue how he was going to support the baby. It's amazing that he was able to father a child, because there's no way he looked 13 years old. I think it's more like two kids playing with a doll. Hopefully adults will be intervening to see to it that the baby is cared for.

Hello my friend sbeauty Ji, That is a point of discussion, mostly , it is not necessary that 13 Yr's parent were involved. I doubt, if any parents, even think on that line to allow such thing to hapen It is really shocking. So we all Indians believe that "KAL-YUG" ( machine - age), has entered our life and would wipe out world and re-start our life from A,B,C,d... May god bless you and have great time.

I just could not believe this! How can a child bring up their own baby when they themselves still need parental guidance. If this is going to be a precedence the world will have many kidult running around the country.

I really don't understand what is going through their minds. He's only thirteen, for crying out loud!!! When I was 13, I wasn't thinking about having kids. Sure, at that time, I thought that I would have some, but not anytime soon. Personally, I think that their lives are going to suffer because they wanted to keep their child at that age. It's going to affect what ever they do in life.

Hello my dear dodo19 Ji, So nice of you for expressing and steaming out for 13 yr old father. Now you are 20 yrs or so, that means a sea-change has occured in socety with in span of seven yrs which is really not appriciable. I think, society is plunging into great darkness, and it would be difficult to recover. may god bless you and have great time.

For me it is an accident to become father in 13 years old. Of course Alfie can not spend his time for playing again, he must waste his time to his son. It is very difficult situation for a child.
