13 Year Old Parent

That's sad...their childhoods are over...

Oh lord. The mind boggles. I'm surprised each family isn't suing the other for rape or something... unless the laws in the UK are differnet. I know in the US, if two people consent to sex, but are both underaged, technically, it's rape, and each family can be sued by the other. Is that how it works in the UK, or not?

Nope, here in the UK there is no blame for under-aged couples having sex in a way that would allow a suing, it is illegal so if the police wished I guess they could prosecute the parents but I've never heard of any such thing. Thankfully suing for every little slight hasn't caught on here as yet.

The boy is 13, my baby brother is 13, he is a child there is no question about it, he shouldn't be called stupid, there's no way his brain has developed maturity enough to understand what he was doing. He shouldn't have been in a situation where this was possible!

When I was 14 I think I was taught sex-ed in an Church of England school, it was a couple of lessons and it was pretty laughable, but it would have come too late for this kid. That was back in .....omg, 1998, I feel so old. Don't know when it is taught now.

My feeling is that this kid and all the others that are born to underage parents without well off grandparent should go for adoption, there are plenty of infertile but caring, decent people in the world who would be overjoyed to raise infant.

"Kids Tax payers £-190,000 (average cost of raising a child to 18)"

That's an interesting figure. England has a population somewhat higher than 50 000 000, so that's 0.38 pence per citizen. Let's say a ha'pence per tax payer. Spread out over eighteen years. I feel your pain.

An eight year old mother had a baby once.

I see your eight year old mom and raise [http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/medina.asp].

That's per kid though and there a hundreds born every day to underage or unemployed 'people' across Britain(I can't back that up with figures) but it adds up. Surely, I shouldn't have to pay for my own kids and people's kids because they can't afford them. They shouldn't have kids and then force me to pay for the kids and them to look after the kids.

I guess you'll have to travel around the land and give them a talking to. "Stop having so many bloody children, I want more money!" That should go well.

Recently, a 13 year old British boy became a father to his 15 year old girlfriends baby. I won't say too much because the article isn't long, so I'll leave it up to you to read about it. I just want to know, is this one of the worst things that society has done to it's youth?

Also, I think that the child should be taken from them, mainly because of this:
"When asked how he is going to cope financially, Alfie replied, bemused, 'What's financially?'"


EDIT: Added FoxNews link

I actually heard about this on the radio this morning. I think that he could be a good parent but I'm not going to hold my breath. I don't really think that the idea of him being a dad or her being a mom has actually sunk in yet. This would be a good chance for him to prove how mature he may or may not be.

 

[LordCraigus]

Sound like one for Jeremy Kyle. PUT SOMETHING ON THE END OF IT! The kid'll be in tears.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Wow! He got laid at 12. 12!!! Lucky bastard... But anyways, all jokes aside that is just wrong :S Damn the kid will hit puberty some years after the father hits adulthood... At least he acts responsibly.

This is why minors should not have sex. I just hope that their parents can support them and the baby until they both turn 18. I am against giving the baby to the state because I don't trust any government with anything fragile.

This is why the gene pool should have an IQ test. If you don't pass, you can go to the wading pool and play with the dolls.

This...this kind of stuff just disgust me. But it might aswell be becuse kids are kind of forces to grow up faster, seriously, we're deciding our future at the age of 15-16 considering education(atleast in sweden). Also, its easier to get cigarettes, drugs, cigarettes etc.
One of my neighbours has a kid - and she just turned 15. I know it happens alot, but I seriously dont get how people can do this. Nowdays, 12 year olds can have sexual relationships with 21 year old people, from my point of view, its just disgusting.

But in this case it seemed to be planned, but hes freakin 13, and the mother 15! They dont know anything about real life yet, and theyre already passing it onto a child! It will probably be theyre own parents that pays for the kid, becuse they seriously wont be able to pay for it themselves.

Doing stuff like this when your that young... I think its fucked up.

Use. Protection. Damn. It.
Needs. More. Sex. Education.

Ladies and gentlemen: Why sex and contraception should be taught together.

We get this shit taught to us almost constantly. Its not the education. Its the fact that they're retards and would better serve mankind if they were made into dog food.

I didn't realise that the government charged all bills and expenses of child raising directly to your bank account. I was under the impression that, while hundreds of kids may be born every day to unemployed parents, millions of people pay the taxes which will make sure that those kids stay above the poverty line. Y'know, with the cost upon each person being lessened by the fact that there are millions of people paying. How silly of me.

J-e-f-f-e-r-s, you old dog! Where the devil have you been!?

Just curious, but if the kid's voice hadn't cracked when the article was written, and the child was conceived a year before,can someone explain to me how a prepubescent twelve year old boy managed to...um, well you know?

You mean you don't remember having "nightly emissions" at twelve? I'm betting he was just trying to find out what they were.

The Sun is a leading British news paper, as far as I know.

Its a magazine for adults effectively - its trash.

On another note - I think this is like the kid getting a dog; he'll act responsible etc.. for a few months, but he'll get tired of it and his parents will have to looks after the baby. Absolutely ridiculous scenario - sex at 12 - just goes to show how idiotic societies plebs have become.

Once genetic engineering works, I will get right on that.

I just find it hilarious that the mother is called 'Chantelle', suuuuuuch a stereotypical name for the situation! I watched the video too, I love how condescending the reporter is being towards the father. The mother looks like a crack addict.

I thought it was in british schools?, in France I had the banana condom thing, same with in Spain.

Its the current state of England I guess, there was an 11 year old dad about 10 years ago, kudos to him he actually works his guts out for his kid.

Seen a documentary about a country in South-America, can't remember the name but they sad that Opus Dei was pretty much in controll. Anyway, they forced 10 year old children to give birth there, and contraception was pretty much banned (like an unwritten rule).
Difference ofcourse is that this happened in Brittain.

There are people like me, who are stressed even when the girl is using a pill and I am using a condom.

I've got this 14 year old co-worker (total jailbait) who hates condoms and is planning to get tótally wasted with Carnaval next week. Combined with this little topic (and ofcourse the rest), I just say: today's parents and schools failed when a 14 year old girl doesn't care about condoms.

Yeah, the contrary - I am stressed but I use.
