Absolutely! This boy has no idea, but all credit to him for at least wanting to try and be a good Dad. I hope he keeps that attitude as he gets older.
Seems to me that a 15 year old girl should know better than to have unprotected sex...

Exactly.. The boy has no idea what he's in for... Kids these days think its so cool to be a mom or dad. Some kids that i know think its a game! They don't take it serious at all.. Its so sad.. When These kids have the babies who do you think takes the responsibility? The kids parents (grandparents)! Honestly just reading about this situation the baby will be better off being adopted by a good family who is able to raise the child up with good morals and love them unconditionally. Alfie's girlfriends family don't sound like good parents at all.. there is no way I would let my daughters 12yr old boyfriend stay the night! that's crazy.. They were just asking for trouble!

My son was born when i was 15, his mother (my wife) was 15 too, so judge all you want, but this doesnt nessicarily have to have a bad outcome for alfi. If he sticks with it, he can turn this into a good thing. dont think of it as ruining his childhood, but more like bettering his future. I married my Girl friend when she we turned 18, i joined the army. and now my son is 4, we have a girl on the way, and besides being shipped out next june, i couldnt be happier. My advice for alfie... Dont listen to what all the reporters, and the rest of the world say about your new family. Just stick to your guns and u will be fine.

I agree with HyperGlobal Ayda and Ashley you two could learn a thing or two. HyperGlobal suggests the parents are trash for not looking after their very young children. If more parents would buck up and not be such bleeding heart slobs like you, kids wouldnt be having or even wanting kids of their own until they understood the responsibility. Ayda YOU are an irresponsibile asshole. Ashley you need to grow up some more and as long as you keep the books open and not your legs you too will have the same choices and freedom the more educated kids have. Good luck.

No we shouldn't be judging the boy. We should be judging his PARENTS. Where were they? Why were they allowing him to stay over his girlfriend's place? Forget what her parents were allowing. They are responsible for parenting thier own child. A birds and bees talk now? Talk about closing the barn door once the cow has already escaped. Alfie is to be commended for wanting to be a good dad. But he's too young, inexperienced and immature to know what that means. I'm sure he'll do his best, but I expect him to be soon overwhelmed. He'd not done being a kid himself.

Has paternity been proven in this case? That would be my first concern.

I just think its sooooooo sad, especially for the poor baby - hopefully, they will do the right thing and give the baby up for adoption and save all their lives!

I just think the circumstances of this story are very sad. Not knowing more about the boy and girls families, makes it difficult to even offer an edeucated opinion. Hopefully, these kids will get some counseling help and education. Seems if there was ever a case of babies having babies, this is the one!

This is totally crazy!! There is no way that these kids are ready to be parents. Has everyone forgotten about their education? Let's just hope this does not end up being a tragedy later down the road.

Wow dude poverty trash? I'm in poverty right now and I'm 16 and let me tell you something, my mom isnt out playing que ball or being an irresponsible parent. I've never even had sex. When I talk to my rich friends about pregnancy though, they do say things like they dont worry about it because their parents will pay for the abortion or pay for the baby. I know I cant even do that because theres not even enough money for food for me and my mom. Dont judge us because you think youre so much better.

As for this boy, I feel sorry for him. When my half brother (raised by my dad's mom) was 12 he and his girlfriend had a pregnancy scare and I was heartbroken that he hadnt been safe. I hope the boy and his girlfriend get through the obstacles of being teenage parents, and I hope they end up with good jobs to take care of the baby. Major props to him though that he wants to be a good dad. Much more than I can saw about a lot of grown men.

This is just way to sad for words, how do these two kids expect to support this baby, probably welfare. I think the parents should be investigated, where were they when this 12 year old was having uprotected sex?

It is a sign of the times when I see a headline like this and I think, yes, so what? I work in a High school that has a daycare center for students and it has a waiting list! Freshmen are entering school with multiple children. It is sad and yes the children are at fault here but the adults who are not involved in their children's lives are more to blame.

I think it is sad. I actually feel sorry for him. It is not his fault, the girl is 15 and clearly more mature and knowing what she was doing was wrong! He is just a kid and so is she, they have no idea what it means to be parents that young! I got pregnant when I was 18 years old, I moved out from my parents just one month after graduation and did it all on my own with out any help from anyone, of course my husband was there and still is, I was lucky he stuck around for sure! You can not judge these kids at all, everyone has sex and obviously his parents could care less where he was at. Do not judge others until you have been in there shoes!!!!!

This is what happens when society refuses to discuss sex with children. My daughter is 8 and she already knows the basics, and that she can talk to me about anything. I don't want her peers to be her source of information- that's how misinformation occurs, and that's where secrets start. As a society, we need to educate children when they are young, before the hormones kick in, and keep a long running dialogue going so that they devolop habits that lead to sound judgement. An 8 year old has better impulse control and reasoning skills than a teenager, because once the hormones kick in the young mind loses it's ability to make reasonable decisions. My parents started talking to me about sex when I was young. I always knew I could talk to them about anything- and as a result I was married to the man who took my virginity.

Isn't there a Statatory Rape law? Parents are responsible for their minor children's actions. They should be prosecuted.
There are many deserving childless people who would see to this child's ,and others born under this stigma, welfare and education so as not to repeat.
Just asking!

This is a shame against everything that is Moral. I watch young people in my neighborhood kissing and hugging and doing everything they want to do right in the street, and don't care who sees them. Young people have no respect their elders these days. They can see you looking at them doing these things, and want to know what you are looking at. This young boy and girl should be made to terminate this pregnancy, and the house this took place in should be investigated if the things they say are going on, ARE GOING ON, something should be done. "It is a disgrace". God Bless Them.

I was a father at age 12 and it wasn't because of poor parenting or poverty. I attended private school, my mom was a nurse and dad an insurance broker. My child is 30 years old now, has her masters degree and has a great job. There are people out there raised by both parents and hasn't faired better than my baby.

You all can judge all you want, just expose your ignorance and shallow existence. All the hateful things you say and do doesn't help, you're part of the problem.
