Yeah wow in today's time ... Hope you know that Mother Mary had Jesus when she was only what 13 or 14 LOL...
You gotta put it in perspective - the life expectancy of people was what.... 40?... by 13 someone's already lived 1/3 their life expectancy... If you WEREN'T married with kids by 18 you were an outcast. Now today, a 13 year old having a kid is what... done with 1/6th his life? A 13 year old kid having a baby is going to live for another 65 years versus another 26 years... That's a long time to realize the mistakes you made and regret them, if that's how you grow to feel about it. But, if you don't regret it, then it's all a moot point anyway.
This could end up on Maury. http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/02/15/boy.baby.dad.england/index.html Second boy claims to be dad in UK baby case (CNN) -- A second teenager has reportedly claimed to be the father of a child born to a teenaged girl in a case which has caused an outcry in Britain. British Conservative party leader David Cameron has expressed his dismay over the case. British Conservative party leader David Cameron has expressed his dismay over the case. According to reports earlier this week Alfie Patten was only 12 when the baby was conceived with his girlfriend, Chantelle Steadman, 15. The Sun tabloid newspaper reported their daughter, Maisie Roxanne, was born on Monday. It carried photos and interviews with the pair and their child on Friday and Saturday. Alfie told the newspaper that he thought "it would be good to have a baby." While Chantelle said they wanted to "prove to everyone" that they could give Maisie a "great future" and that they both planned to stay in school. However, on Sunday the Sun's sister paper, the News of the World, reported that Richard Goodsell, aged 16, was claiming he was Maisie's father. "I know I could be the father. Everyone thinks I am. My friends all tell me that baby has my eyes -- even my mum thinks so. "Only a DNA test is going to sort this out properly. If I am the father, I have the right to know," he told the News of the World. The situation has provoked a wide response, with Conservative party leader David Cameron telling the British Press Association that parenthood should not be something the teenagers should even have been contemplating. Prime Minister Gordon Brown said "all of us would want to avoid teenage pregnancies," PA reported. Tony Kerridge, of the sexual health specialist Marie Stopes International, told PA that children needed better education. The response from CNN readers ranged from outrage to questions about whether the situation was actually rare. Allyson said exactly the same thing had happened in her home town. "Well, this is not news to my area. We had this same thing happen five years ago. Same aged boy and girl. They had a little girl. The dad graduated from high school the year before his daughter started kindergarten! He has full custody as the mom has moved out of town and had another child. I am glad the family has supported this child even though the 'parents' didn't make a good decision in having a child so young." Martha said she found the situation "very sad." "I did not become a mom until I was 24 and it was still a struggle. I think these children's parents should be held accountable. Where were they? These kids have no idea what their lives will be like, finish school! Only if they are very lucky with a good support system." Becky was dismayed. "This just shocks me and makes me sick... they are still kids! Only 13 and 15 year old! So where are their parents?"
I thought boys didn't go through puberty until later... like 14 or something. Girls we are so "lucky" as to start at 10-12, but I thought boys did later? Someone with a medical degree help me out here. And... seriously little girl... eww.. he looks like a baby.
Umm...it varies. It may not be the average age but it's no stretch at all to imagine a 12 year old boy being able to create babies. I can't believe you didn't know this. By the way, the world's youngest mother was less than 6 years old just to illustrate that the 10-12 you mentioned is just an average number.
LOL! when i read the story the first thing that came to my mind was if i was him i'd get a paternity test.
When WTF meets WTF... http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jLBIy0ws-r2RSa6rGWovUifGCZjgD96COPJG0 DNA test pending in case of 13-year-old father LONDON (AP) — The spokesman for a 13-year-old who reportedly fathered a child says a DNA test will be performed to identify the dad for certain. The test comes after a Sunday tabloid newspaper reported that other teenage boys had come forward claiming to be the father of the newborn baby girl. Family spokesman Max Clifford said Monday the boy still believes the week-old baby girl is his. But his parents want a DNA test as soon as possible to be certain. The teenager's 15-year-old girlfriend gave birth to the baby girl last week in Eastbourne, 70 miles (110 kilometers) southeast of London. The couple made headlines in Britain when the fresh-faced boy posed on the front page of the Sun newspaper with the baby.
seriously if that kid and his parents have a chance that the newborn isnt his they are going to pursue that so fast. i mean the kid has a chance of getting his childhood back. as for the other teenage boys stepping up that is just mind boggling personally. they may get 15 minutes of fame right now but their life is going to be seriously impacted. i mean its like that girl got around if other boyS have stepped up. this is one of those cases where truth is stranger than fiction by a long mile
