13 YEAR OLD DAD

Here's 13-year-old Alfie Patten tenderly cradling his newborn daughter, Maisie, who was born on Monday. Alfie says he's up for the challenge. "I didn't know what it would be like to be a dad," he said. "I will be good, though, and care for it." When this baby-faced, 4-foot tall boy was asked how he plans to provide for the baby financially, he replied, "What's financially?" Asked what he'll do about money, he says "I don't know," and looks away. Diapers cost "a lot," Alfie thinks, but he's not sure how he's going to pay for them. "I don't really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10. Clearly, Alfie, Maisie, and her mom, 15-year-old Chantelle Stedman will need to be supported by their parents. The three are currently living with Chantelle's parents and her five brothers. But it might just be the adults that got everyone into this situation to begin with. "The Stedmans let the kids run wild on the street until all hours, they have no control over them," a neighbor told The Daily Mail. Alfie was often encouraged to stay overnight, even keeping a school uniform there despite the fact that Alfie's mother lives nearby, and despite the fact he was only 12. Who's watching who here?
