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

Goodbye more tax money....but what the heck!...the government will take care of the new addition.

Does age really have anything to do with it? Look at the mother who gave birth to 8 children. She's an adult and look where she is right now. There is no difference. So this boy will need help from his family, well this lady will need help from a country. He is 13 and I do agree he has no clue what the hell he has gotten himself into. I had my daughter at 19, and back then it was hard. I was educated and I was employed.. oh and married, but even with 2 adult incomes it was hard. This is a true act of kids having kids. My daughter sees it all the time in high school, 2-3 even 4 young women in school prego every day and not the same girls. What's the deal is that all there is for these kids to do anymore

Ugh, people are so mean. Yes , it is a very bad thing that a kid so young was having sex, let alone had a baby, but to talk about him that way? He obviously had no clue what he was doing and yes, his parents probably should have had a closer watch on him.

Let me tell you, there are preachers kids who have ended up in compromising positions in spite of the tight serveilance their parents had them under so to those who puff their chests out and spout how much better they are as parents and people..fate sometimes has an ugly way of dragging us down to level so I wouldn't get self-righteous. I just would pray that my teachings would keep my kid from experimenting in such a way.

The parents of these children need to be reemed a new one. To allow these minors to act to promiscuously (sp) is a shame. I am gathering that they lack intelligence and morality. I would call them trailer trash but that would be too good and they might even be middle class idiots for all we know. Adoption, good thought, God knows this innocent newborn does not need to be raised by these braindead people and grow up to be just like them. All you holier than thou liberals need to shut the hell up "this poor boy" my ass!!! These children are not even out of puberty yet and barely can wipe their own @sses. Department of Children and Families need to be involved and very harshly at that. And if and one of those parents or friends of those idiots may come across this blod...read what everyone is saying and pay attention...y'all just f*cked up a bunch of lives because you have the inability to form an intelligent decision. You are a waste of human space.

I think it's silly how much the media asks for our opinions, thoughts, and comments.
..it's none of our business to get in peoples' lives like this boy, or the mother with the fourteen children.
it's ridiculous.

Personally, I think that it is the parents responsibility to keep their kids safe, protected and guided. However, I believe there is another problem at play here. He was 12, she was 14.... Has anyone ever heard of statutory rape?

WOW!!!! Umm why are there people blaming just the kids here? The stinkin parents are to blame first and foremost!!!! Seriously, on both sides. How dare the parents let a 12 year old boy and a 15 year old girl even stay alone together for the act of sex to even happen! How about instead of going after the kids for this their 'parents', if you can say parents in this case, need their a** kicked! Seriously 12 and 15! Thats just mind blowing!!!!!!!!!!! Where the hell was the parents when this was happening? In the room next to them? Freaking ridiculous.... little kids raising a newborn, nice. some people just don't even deserve kids if they cant be a responsible caring parent. Teach your kids morals and responsibilities. Teach them to respect themselves and their bodies! Not let them go out have sex at 12 and 15 and bring a child ,like themselves, into this world!!!!!

why the hell didn't she just have an abortion?? that would have been the best thing to do so the world would have one less kid who's life is going to be fucked up

The parents are nit wits for allowing this situation to happen. The children are just following the same path their parents dug for them.

my step sister got pregnant at 14 and she never ran the streets she really never left the house and her boyfriend was 17 when she got pregnant my stepmom was very strict with us and she managed to get pregnant my sister never depended on welfare her boyfriend now husband has a very succesful business so you really can't judge this person for how he feels about his newborn baby maybe it was a good thing maybe he just might have a wonderful career in his path.. plus my high school had a daycare and we had freshman that were dropping off there 1-2 year olds so why is it a big deal that a 13 year old is a dad but not a big deal when a 13 year old is a mom?

This is ridiculous... I like how the parents talk about the boy and his "mistake" as though he's an adult who did this. He's 13, for goodness sakes! Let's be parents and assume some responsibility for your child who just impregnated someone when he's barely on the cusp of adolescence!

I am just going to lay it out on the table now. I can't exactly say that I have my head stuck in The Book, but I was brought up, as best as my parents could at the time, by the Bible. So those of you who are there with me, you all know that sex was meant for marriage and marriage only. Clearly, the blame lies heavily on the shoulders of the parents here. What kind of parents would let this happen? I want to know where the they were when all this was going on. It's one thing when you educate your children on the subject of sex, set boundaries, do your best to keep them from being in that kind of situation and they still do what they NOW KNOW is WRONG; but when you do all but encourage that kind of behavior, what do you think is going to happen? Twice, only twice did my parents let my boyfriend at the time stay at the house over night and I can guarantee you that my dad didn't get a wink of sleep, despite the fact that I was in my bedroom and my boyfriend was on the other side of the house on the couch and never was he encouraged to leave clothes, especially school clothes at my parents' house. Yes, the children do deserve some of the blame in this situation, but obviously, the parents need to be educated before they decide to have anymore grandchildren.

That's true, people are going to have their comments and judge this boy, but why?...... I mean the world that we live in today is just the way that it is...My cousin, she had her baby at 13 and her grandparents step in to help her, despite the fact that she had no job. She now works and goes to school in order to support her child. I am pretty sure Alfie could do it too..... I don't feel that abortion or adoption should be an answer. I understand that the welfare of this child is the important thing. But abortion is downright wrong, how would you feel if your parents aborted you? Seriously.... and how would you feel if your parents gave you up for adoption... Many of these kids who are put up for adoption have grudges against their biological parents when they grow up. Some of them even tend to blame their biological parents for their problems that they have..... Please, I don't think Alfie wants to have a kid that hates him in the future and I don't think he wants to intentionally kill an innocent human being...

I am just amazed how "okay" society is making it to be a young parent.I am a teenage parent myself and caught so much shit for it.But no,this girl's parents are just like AWW its okay,the more the merrier.Especially when this boy is 13 and 4ft..i didnt even know boys that age could produce such sperm to create a baby.Or even know what to do to a girl during.Its just really sad. There are so many girls in the US that are having babies at 11,even!!!! I think it is very ridiculous.Is it sooner or later going to become this country's norm to have kids at 11? I was 17 when i had my son and it was a huge struggle.I can't imagine an 11 year olds life after having a baby. Maybe we need more detail in sex education following what happens AFTER sex or during...and why you should wear a condom and be extremely careful because babies arent DOLLS.They are human beings you are responsible for.I don't blame anyone but the children.They shouldn't be so ignorant.

I THINK THAT THIS 15YR OLD GIRL SHOULD BE TAUGHT A LESSON SLEEPING WITH A 7YR OLD BOY. JUST LIKE THEY WOULD DO TOO A BOY SLEEPING WITH A YOUNGER GIRL IT'S NOT RIGHT THIS LITTLE 7YR OLD DOESN'T KNOW BETTER HE WAS ABUSE IN MY OPINON SHE SHOULD GET CHARGE SHE KNOW'S BETTER. THEN SHE SIT'S THERE WITH A BIG SMILE ON HER FACE LIKE THIS IS A JOKE SHE NEEDS SOME COUNSELING SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS MAYBE SHE WAS ABUSE.

IF WE CAN HAVE SOME BITCH IN CALIFORNIA HAVE 14 KIDS WITHOUT ANY GODDAMNED SUPPORT WHATSOEVER, WHY NOT ENCOURAGE OUR LITTLE ONES WHO CAN PRODUCE BABIES TO GO AHEAD...............POPULATE IS THE WORD FOR THE DAY...............POPULATE AND POPULATE AND WHO THE HELL CARES...................NO ONE IS CUTTING ANY PART OF ANYONE'S BODY OFF OR USING STERILIZATIONS LIKE THE GOVERNMENT DID ON THE BLACKS IN THE 30'S AND 40'S...............DID THEY? FACE FACTS............THE WORLD IS GOING TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET AND NOBODY GIVES A SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

atleast hes wanting to become involved, which is a lot more than a lot of "men" out there step up to.

I feel bad for this child. He is a child, the parents are completely at fault, not the child.
If supervision had been given to this boy and girl, this would not have happen. I think the parents, just didn't care so as longest the children were entertained and out of their hair they can do whatever!!! The Parent's should support the baby.

giving the baby up for adoption is not such a good idea. Let the grandparents take care of the baby. Pretend as if its their kid.
