BOY dad Alfie Patten yesterday admitted he does not know how much nappies cost — but said: “I think it’s a lot.”
Baby-faced Alfie, who is 13 but looks more like eight, became a father four days ago when his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth to 7lb 3oz Maisie Roxanne.
He told how he and Chantelle, 15, decided against an abortion after discovering she was pregnant.
The shy lad, whose voice has not yet broken, said: “I thought it would be good to have a baby.
“I didn’t think about how we would afford it. I don’t really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10.”
Alfie, who is just 4ft tall, added: “When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried how people would react.
“I didn’t know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it.”
Alfie’s dad Dennis told how the lad does not really understand the enormity of his situation — but seemed desperate to be a devoted and responsible father. (Read and see all the pictures here.)
B.S. Report–The “dad” really looks like he could be 8 or 9 himself. He’s only 4 feet tall. The mother’s family has 5 kids already and they’re living on “benefits.” Wolves could probably raise kids better than a lot of these parents. It’ll be interesting to see how long our happily unmarried parents manage to stay together.
These kids, especially Pops (Alfie), have no idea how difficult it is to raise a healthy good child. Lets see, he’s 13 now–by age 20 I hope he looks like this:
Dammit Chantelle, get that kid to stop cryin' already!
