I usually don’t publish articles like this, but this piece of news that my friend John sent me through Facebook surprised me so much that I couldn’t let it go.
Acording to the digital version of the British tabloid The Sun, Alfie, 13 years old, and Chantelle, 15, had a baby five days ago.
When asked what he was thinking when all this happened, Alfie said that “I never thought about how I would afford it. My father sometimes gives me 10 pounds.”
The news have reached even the highest ranks of the British Government. The lider of the Torys, David Cameron, commented that “When I saw those pictures in the morning, I thought how worrying it is that in Britain children today have children”. Prime Minister Gordon Brown didn’t comment directly on the story, but added that it’s important that the Government does everything possible to avoid teenage pregnancy.
I only wanted to let people know about these news through here. As for me, I think it is really irresponsible that parents don’t even realize the situation until it is so late. Even worse, how could a kid, who only did it once without protection at 12 years old, that he could have a child and continue with his life as usual.
I was soo surprised at this article! I cannot imagine they are parents because I am older but I cannot have one now..
Haha, thanks for your comment Erika!!Yes, it is really surprising, I don\’t know how the little kid will grow in such a family
