"13 yo boy became father of a baby girl......! " What say you ?

Oh gosh, 13 years old is just too young! I think this is very irresponsible and I'm actually surprised that a lot of young people nowadays even think about this. I've even watched on Tyra a few months ago that these kids actually "plan" their pregnancy! At this age, they should just be focusing on their studies, not building a family! And it is not as easy as they think. Times are tough nowadays and the babies will be the ones suffering in the long run. =(

If this had happened in the medieval times this would be a normal thing that happens everyday. But in the modern times they are supposed to be in the school studying lessons and everything.

They are too young. I hope someone teaches them to be good parents. It is such a shame and it might not be that he is really the father, but at least he is trying to be a man. He should be going to school now. In fact both of them are just kids. How do things get this way? Children are going up way too fast. This is so tragic and we do not know who is to blame, the parents or someone who did not supervise them.

I feel that these two made a decision and now they have the rest of their lives to deal with that choice. Yes, it will be very difficult for them to raise a child, but I believe that they really can do it. I hope that they get guidance and reassurance from their own families ratherthan ridicule. I hope that they realize how much they will now mis out on in life because of their own choice, and I hope that their parents do not raise the child for them, but guide them along the way. This young couple is definately too young to fully understand such an adult responsibility, but, they made the choice and now, I feel that they should have to face the consequences.

Holy crap, his voice hasn't broken yet. This is why you need to teach kids about contraception.

owo,crazy!How will the young parents do in the future?It is not easy for living .The two kids feed one kid,terrible!

Too stupefied to speak…I think we are headed for times when we will soon have to forget what a family and social life would be like. Rather we will have to learn to live in an impersonal atmosphere where none would have any idea of who their real parents are. In all likelihood, this dream of becoming a ‘dad’/’mom’ will wear out soon and the ‘couple’ will have separated by the time they are into early 20 and will have remarried quite a few times by the time this baby itself is 20. It would hardly know its biological father/mother (depends on who finally raises it). As the age bar of becoming parents comes down further, it would soon be one vast ocean of humanity, with no ‘family’ to anchor the individual.

It is not mentioned how old his girlfriend is. Whatever that be, I could not support a minor becoming a father. Kids would have many fantasies, and it's the adults in charge of them who have to decide what would ultimately be good/bad for them.

The boy is definitely not ready to be a father. I just read one interview where the boy was asked what he would do financially. His response was "What's financially?" It seems like some schools teach kids how to have babies, but they don't teach about the responsibilities that go with it. Unfortunately, Alfie and Chantelle will be learning this lesson the hard way.

Absolutely pathetic. His parents obviously didn't raise him properly. He's frickin' 13 years old?! He should enjoy being a kid. Now he has the responsibility of raising some kid. That is way too young and that kid is not mature enough to be a parent. No 13 year old should be a parent.

Gosh..they are kids for God's sake and "wanted to be a father" is a sick statement a 13 year old boy can make..I can imagine to see such a situation in some of the poor underdeveloped villages in my country but in UK is a shock..Educated sensible parents should have been more responsible about what or how their kids grow up and now he is only 13 years older than his kid..I am myself 21 years older than my cousin...What an irony going back to the same condition of hat existed at the dawn of humanity by fathering a child at 13..

hey is it true that you became a dad at age of 13 or just trying to get people suggestions on your post, well if you are 13 your girl friends age? and well how come you be dad ? still not at a maturity age.

He can not wait to be a father, maybe his body is prepared, but not the mind.

Wrong time to a DADA

I learned this news today and I am in shock to know it. 13 years old is still a young child, I can't imagine that he have already become to be a dad. How can he take good care of his baby? The education, money etc. This little boy is still in his childhood, he doesn't have a job and in fact his family isn't wealthy. How he can buy something and bring up his own baby? And I don't think he can be responsible as he is still so little. A big child brings up another child? It is so difficult. I love China

Gosh! This new generations are really so mean.. How could a 13 year old boy be a good father to her daughter?? It seems he is just an older brother of his daughter.. By the way, how old is the mother?? Are they the same age?

I understood that the whole family is on welfare, on both sides so they do not think about getting a job, this is the way it is, which seems strange to us. One childe gets you an apartment and a monthly check. When you reach 3 kids you get a townhouse and more cash. It can become a generational thing.

I read from a newspaper that the boy was allowed to sleep with the girl in the same bed at night. I will put the blame on the parents. Girl- boy interaction doesn't mean that they have to sleep in the same bed. It might have been a shock for the parents of the two. But it can happen to anybody if they allow their children to live a life according to their wishes. There is nothing new in a boy becoming a father at 13. This is because in the ancient world, marriage was allowed even at the age of 13. But what we are concerned is the occurrance of such an incident in the UK, a developed nation, where the people have more resources and money to rear their children in the right path.

thats crazy! i wouldn't want a 13 year old looking after a child. Its too extreame!

Oh my goodnessss!!!!When i read this news,im hurt.I can't imagine my kids having a baby at the age of thirteen.The bo looks so innocent and he looks like a baby to me.What kind of parents they have.How can they let this thing to happen?They are so young.I was so shock.I really cant believe this.I really really hope that this will not happen to my kids.I dont want them to become a father so early and ofcourse i dont want to become a grandma so early...
