I can’t let this weekend pass without mentioning the 13yr old dad.
Sunday, February 15th, 2009A 13yr old boy made headlines this past Friday for having a baby with a 15yr old girl, Chantelle. You want to know what the funniest thing is? His voice hasn’t even broken yet. Actually, the funniest thing is the poor looks about 8 and is only about 4ft tall.
Well, not funny really. Just very sad. Britain is said to have the unenviable accolade of having the highest teen pregancy rate in Europe. I’d love to know where it is we’re going wrong as a nation that other European countries are doing right (or better), and if there’s no way of adopting some of their practices. Does anybody remember the 12yr old girl who gave birth back in 2000?
13 yr old Alfie has no financial means of looking after the baby, neither does both sets of parents as they’re claiming benefits. Although to be fair, Chantelle’s dad is a fisherman, but work is scarce. Alfie’s mother is seperated from his dad, who has nine other kids, including 3 stepchildren, from various other women. Btw, when Alfie was asked how he was going to cope financially, he asked “what does ‘financially’ mean? What a sad state of affairs.
