So you’re 13 years old and you just fathered a child with your 15 year-old girlfriend. What’s one of the first things you do when you get back from the hospital? Well, if you’re Alfie Patten, you fire up your game console and play some Saints Row 2. Patten, who stands four feet height and looks way younger than his 13 years, said “I know I’m young, but I plan to be a good dad.” Surely playing a game that’s rated 18+ when you’re 13 years old sets a wonderful example. I just don’t see how this situation will end happily. I wish Alfie, his girlfriend and his young daughter the best of luck.

WHAT THE F***
Yeah, that’s pretty much what I thought when I first heard of it. They do start young these days, don’t they. What’s really bad is how young that kid looks…he doesn’t look like he’s 13 at all.
Oh it gets better too. Apparently some other young lads have come forward recently and said that they could also be the father. WTF! indeed.
Yea when I heard about this I also thought the same as Jin! Literally wtf! But I hear his parents are being watched now because they’re getting all this money from the press.. Not encouraging!
If I have any kids later in life, they’ll be indoor kids till they’re 18 coz at the rate this country is going it will soon be the norm to have a kid by 14!
And I thought it was kind of pointless for them to start safe sex education in like grade 3…
