13-Year-Old Alfie Is NOT the Father

Good?


We couldn't believe the news that 13-year-old Alfie Patten was the father of a newborn last month, and it turns out that impulse may have been founded in reality. After two boys challenged the paternity of little Maisie Roxanne, DNA tests were performed and the truth was revealed: Chantelle Stedman, the 14-year-old mother of the child, had lied about the paternity.

Well, more accurately, her mother had her lie about her virginity so that Alfie would be perceived as the father of the baby. At the time the initial challenge was made, Alfie jumped to defend Chantelle saying, "I am the only boyfriend Chantelle's had - and we've been together for two years. I must be the dad."

It's a tragic situation all around. Alfie is reportedly "devastated" by the results and, one would think, the revelation of the betrayal by his girlfriend. His mother has said, "It had not even crossed Alfie's mind whether Chantelle had not been faithful to him. He's absolutely devastated that these lads say they slept with her."

Here's hoping all the kids involved get the support they need to make it through this very public paternity case.
