Boy Becomes Father at 13 - "I Thought It Would Be Good to Have a Baby"

OUTRAGEOUS AND RIDICULOUS. TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR AND IRRESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR PARENTS.

definitley blaming the parents on this one. Growing up mybest friend was a guy, and we stayed every weekend together. When I was 11, my dad said i absolutely could not ever stay the night with him. I hated him for it and didn't understand why he was being so mean about it. Reading this makes me realize how good my parents were.

The enviroment for our family upbringing is not the same across the board. We are not all Leave it to Beaver families. Some self righteous comments I've read are dissapointing. At this point the boy needs parenting education classes. Also, he stills needs to be a boy growing into the responsibilitie of an adult. Thankfully the grandparents are taking a role in raising the baby.

Are you F-ing kidding me? He still a baby himself as well as the mother. And, obviously, the parents of these children still need to grow up themselves. This is such bullshit!!! If I was there my foot would be so far up all their asses that they would be tasting leather!!!!

Amen!

WOW....13 years old .....just wow!

man what a world we live in right.

It's so sad. those two kids(New mom &dad) they didn't have concern, good, caring parents that is why the boy had sex in 12.!!
it's going to be the same for that poor baby girl!!!
Parents are all to blame.

Well this story is a very sad one. But i'm not the one to judge anyone. You know some people just have to learn life the hard way. The parents are going to pay for there incompetence of not parenting. The only one i feel sorry for is the baby. I would like to say the parents will be stuck raising the kid but as we all see they couldn't even take care of there own child let alone their grandchild.How sad.

You never know how things will turn out till they do. Looks like the baby's got enough people to take care of her. It will be interesting to see how the parents and child relate to each other as they all grow up together. With their ages so much closer together than most, the parents will be more like older siblings. This is the case in many families that the older sibs take care of the younger ones. It's good to see that the boy is taking such an interest in the baby. That's not the case with all fathers. I'm sure they would benefit if everyone prayed for them.

I am sorry I cannot believe how ignorant and quick to jump to an opinion without knowing the facts. As adults we are not blind to what is happening around us and why there is poverty and teenage pregnancy. Lets see #1 what was so wrong with without sex education our older generation did not have this in school do some of you have children in school these days they are giving the kids all the information to have sex its bad enouugh the teenage emotions these kids are dealing with a lot more stress than our generation. # 2 poverty back in our generation there were higher percentage of 2 parent homes one was usually at home and 1 working controlled tv viewing and more support from teachers expenses were managable on one income. #3 this generation are higher percentage of 1 parent homes and if you have 2 parent homes everyone has to work 40 + and kids are usually home alone 12 years is responsable to be home alone that is the worst age they are cut off from daycares and supervised programs and are left to the trash on tv the goverment is allowing all this everyone is justifying why they need to increase rates to the consumer but what about the consumer pay wages are no where near what you need to live these days rents used to be 1 week pay for your month rent. health insurance is like a mortgage payment get real people not all people are out of work because they choose some don't have a choice our goverment is in such a mess they are allowing this to happen in our free world I feel sorry for these kids as long as they don,t abuse this baby it is fine with me that the family stays together and support each other and if they have to get goverment help the gov should pay until they straighten out the mess they allowed to happen in the first place.Put religion back in school after school programs that we should not have to pay for our tax dollars pay for the public school system why do we have to dish money out for everything our kids do in school we don't get a tax break on that let the govement agencies stop wasting dollars on material things and fancy parties and excessive bonuses make our kids want to go to school again have loving caring teachers not just a body who collects a paycheck and yells at our kids all day. i could go on and on our society is going downhill.to the young parents I hope you learn from this the first time is a mistake and this child will fulfill the void of love in your life I'm sure your parents love you its just the world today is robbing every family from quality time all they do is work work work just to try to keep a roof over your heads and are usually stressed and with worry all the time thank you corrupt politics and american greed I hope you crooked greedy people can sleep at night. And child protection service people you need to really evalute when you remove children because your poor or less fortunate because you may be young or need financial assistance does not make you unfit love is the most important thing and families need to be together there are good counselors and not so good everything is money these days someone wants to control someone. Look at the whole picture watch these children interact with there families no one is perfect we are all learning to be parents what works for one child may not work for another everyone is an individual .Little house on the prairie and the Brady Bunch just don't exist in our world today we are all trying to do the best we can in the situation s we face it isn't getting easier. give these kids a chance as long as they get support emotionally and financialy they will have to learn to be parents just like everyone else some kids mature earlier than others they just have a tougher road ahead good luck I wish you the best. And to the parents I know it can break your heart because this isn't in your plans but plans change all the time Family is number one.

we cannot change what has happened now coz its too late.All we can do is try to educate them so that this doesn't happen again in future.Parents from both sides should be encouraged to take care of the young one who has come to this world coz he is innocent.

He got a fifteen year old when he was only twelve. All I can do right now is applaud, even though he was too stupid to use a condom.

Tweleve and Thirteen year old girls are mother's all the time! What is so special about a Thirteen year old boy being a dad?

All of this is irrsonsiblity of the parents who should know what their kids are doing, and talk to them about the consequensces of having sex.

Ok.........for all of you who think you know how things might turn out! My daughter and her boyfriend had my grandson, too soon for them to be parents. It was not appropriate, I felt my life was ruined. BUT....my grandson was born, the families came together for the sake of this wonderful new human being. Fast-forward 22 years..........he is the pride and joy of his blended, extended family. He has already served 15 months in Iraq, and is the hero of our entire family. Go figure. A child born before a family was ready, and a wonderful human being, in spite of it.

Judge Not. I agree. My son is now 23 years old, married , On his second degree @ WMU in education.
I was poor, uneducated, and had nothing to call my own. My son defined me as man when I was a boy. I know what it was like being a child and raising one.
With a little help of parents, friends and community always looking down upon him. I know this is what will change his way of living and wanting more for the life he has brought into this world. He will make mistakes. We all do and have. I am no different.
I worked everyday $3.00 an hour,double time on weekends and pulled double shifts as much as I could. I went to school full time and graduated from high school (not adult ed.) because many people like these retards posting hate.. judged me (like they judge him). There was nothing wrong with my parents. Kids do mistakes only few stand to defend them. I am proud of him . A few years doesn't take long. I know...
When I was old enough I joined the military. 14years Airborne Infantry, The remainder I was an ARMY Officer and Helicopter Aviator. My son helped even study to succeed in a 22yr career. I am now retired all bills paid with a personal Net worth over 1.9 million. Today I bought a 80340 sq ft building in my my home- town to house our growing company my son started when he was 15 years old while I was deployed over seas fighting for many of you. This is the 7th year of 101Outdoors. Those same people who judged us so long ago.... now ask for a job.
Only weak minded people that cannot see beyond this as nothing more than as a tragedy condemn him and his (New) Family. I think in five years we will see a 18yr old man struggling with a 5year old daughter. In 12 years a 30year old man insuring his child succeeds in and education. He will be retired before you idiots. I think I will track this kid down and offer him more than any of you.
Come on world step to plate its easy to point it ain't easy to lead.
His life and mistakes are not yours. So go fornicate yourself... you simple minded ..... You have no right to judge.
Ps. I am still married to the same girl 20plus years...We have 4 kids total 23, 18, 10, 8. My eldest daughter is in nursing and lives on her own. We were 15 and lived in our own apt and rented from a local person that knew me.

God bless this young man. When does one become a man? I've no age for man. He can be a great father even if he has no guidance. Ask guidance from the God. He gives the best advice. You, young man, may obtain the best directions in the Holy Bible, inspired by God, our Father, your Father. You laugh and smile and learn. Attempt to learn, to become educated. You then can provide for your little one. At the present time, you will need financial aid. You pray for guidance about that, also. Pray and ask. Kiss the little one often. Give a lot of soft hugging. Comfort the little one and let me know baby's name. You take good care of yourself, also. Mom of child is an important main player. Be hind and tender and caring toward her. She is now the mother of your firstborn.

i fill for both these kids i my self was 17 when me and my wife now of 8 years got pregnant and its not easy it gonna be a hard road for both of them thanks to god we have a home and good jobs but at 13 its the parents who need to watch these kids to make sure these things do not happened my heart goes out to the boy for trying to be a little man but he's got some big shoes to fill and belive me its not easy i was once there good look to both those kids and there family in doing the right thing

It is really shocking that Alfie became father at 13. How he realize that he is having really rough sex and even Chantelle let him do sex with her at that age. If Alfie don't know about financially wise or how to take care of the baby, than he didn't realize having SEX, that is sacrificing is life at the age of thirteen. It is really funny!!!!!!!!!!!

this has nothing to do with being from poverty. This has to do with how a kid is raised and if there parents take responsibility. I know two teenagers pregnant in their early teens and they come from upper middle class families. Who are you to say that this is because they come from a poor home. You are a moron.

I always love how people get upset and tell others not to judge. It isn't right for a 13 year old to become a father. That is a fact. It isn't right for a 12 year old to be having sex. That is a fact. The parents of that 13 year old boy should not have allowed him to have overnighters at his girlfriend's house. That is a fact. When a male and a female sleep together most likely a pregnancy will occur. That is a fact.
