13-Year-Old Alfie is not the Daddy

Alfie Patten is the 13-year-old British lad who was supposed to be the youngest father in Britain. Now that dubious title will have to be passed on to someone else. After the results of the DNA test came back, it was determined that he was not, after all, the father of  little Maisie Roxanne born to 15-year-old Chantelle Steadman - who had vehemently proclaimed that "There has been no one else". In fact many neighborhood boys had come forward to say that they too had had sex with Chantelle Steadman and claimed to be the father. It is not clear who the baby's real father is.

When both 14-year-old Tyle Barker and 16-year-old Richard Goodsell stepped forward to say that they may be the baby's father (with many others following), Alfie was distraught. According to his  43-year-old mother Nicola Patten:

"He's absolutely devastated these lads have come forward to say they slept with her at the time she got pregnant. Everything is wrong. Now that is in his mind and I'm not happy. I don't know where they get this from. I mean, that's my son, that's his baby. Alfie is distraught and upset about everything. But Maisie is fine."

However, Nicola decided that the only way to confirm that Alfie was indeed the father, was to take a DNA test. Max Clifford, the publicist representing Alfie and his family, said:

"Nicola has agreed that DNA tests are the best way to resolve the issue of paternity. It is inevitable there are going to be doubts, particularly with the number of boys who've come forward claiming to have had sex with Chantelle. There is one boy in particular who does seem to have a stronger resemblance to the child."

Now that the truth is out: What will Alfie do, why did Chantelle lie and who is the real father? To be continued..........

Alfie - A Father at 13-Years-Old?

13-Year-Old Alfie Patten of Eastbourne, East Sussex is father to a 7lb 3oz baby girl named Maisie Roxanne. The mother, 15-Year-Old Chantelle Steadman, says: "There has been no one else" in response to claims by a least two other boys who say the baby could be theirs.

14-Year-Old Tyler Barker who claims that he is the father said: “It was routine for boys to stay over with Chantelle in her bed. But I only slept with her the once.”

16-Year-Old Richard Goodsell, a trainee chef says he and Chantelle have had sex at least three times and insists he is the father: “My friends tell me the baby has my eyes — even my mum thinks so.”

Chantelle's mom, Penny, 38, says that reports of her daughter sleeping around are horrible: “I have never seen her so upset. To know that people are saying things like that about her is destroying her.”

Alfie, who was 12-years-old when Chantelle conceived, insists that he is the father even though there have been as many as six boys claiming to be the father. Social Services had previously refused to pay for a DNA test but have since changed their position. According to Penny, Chantelle's mom: “Social services agreed to do it for the sake of the children. The sooner it’s done the sooner Chantelle and Alfie can get on with being parents.”

The controversy has caused the temporary separation of Chantelle and Alfie. Penny insisted that until the DNA results came through she and 15-year-old Chantelle would remain with Maisie at the hideaway where they have fled to escape the cruel gossip. She said: “We don’t want to go back until Chantelle feels she can take the baby out in its pram without people shouting things at her.”
