13 Year Old Kid Is Already A Dad. Check This Out...

Thanks for posting that. It explains a lot.

But what it doesn't explain is why parents don't take the initiative and explain sex to their children. The schools sex education programs obviously are lacking, and it shouldn't be up to the schools in the first place.

If these two children (yes, children!) had parents who sat down with each of them and explained what could happen, how it happens and how to keep it from happening, they never would have become parents at such a young age.

Condoms are a helluva a lot cheaper than diapers.

At least the families will stick together and help them raise this child, for they surely are not yet able to do it by themselves.

My parents never sat me down for a 'sex ed' talk and I sincerely wish they had done so. I was completely unprepared and suffered a lot of embarrassment and humility as a teenager because of their inability to give it to me straight.

Are you a parent of an adolescent? Do you love your child? Then have enough respect to sit them down and talk to them! Teach them so they do not have to learn everything on their own or from their peers (which will most likely be incorrect information).

And just because you are teaching them about sex does not mean they will run right out and do it now that they know about.

And you'd be surprised how much your child will respect you for being up front and frank with them.

At 13, i was learning how to put my pants by myself correctly..

He was learning how to get into other people's pants..

Who's the smart boy here?

What kind of teenage girl would sleep with a boy who looked like a 2nd grader?? Thomas made a post on this same subject.

Why is this news?
People did get married at that age years back.

Of course the life expectancy in the 1800's was just 37 so, they had to
"git bizzy" much earlier.

I don't condone it, just fail to see the headline worthyness of it all.

After all, watch some TV, check out the magazine rack at the Barnes and Noble, listen to some of the lyrics of today's songs and tell me then you are surprised.

You guys believe that stuff? Isn't The Sun just like the American supermarket tabloids?

Oookay.

It is shocking, but I guess it will soon be forgotten about!

That's Funny

Funny - but sad.

Now all the little boys who have had sex with the girl (I don't think 'slept with' fits) are crawling out of the woodwork to claim paternity. At least two, a 14 year old and a 16 year old are requesting DNA tests.

What's even more sad is that the girls parents knew about the 16 year old because they 'gave him permission'!

Maybe now they'll start putting girls on birth control as soon as they hit fourth-grade.
I guess that's cool need to learn how to make the birds and bees program.

I guess that school needs to learn how to make the birds and bees program.

I think it's time for the UK to make welfare reforms a la Clinton. I keep remembering that family with what-10 kids I think and the mother never worked a day in her life and the father almost never worked and they get a free large house, free food, free Christmas presents, free everything and they still find stuff to complain about Makes me wonder why anyone in the UK would want to actually work a legit job while welfare families are living better than they are. If you're on welfare in the USA at least you are required to work or volunteer 20 hrs a week (with some exceptions)

At least this 13 yr old is stepping up to the plate when he could run away and deny the baby. Even though he doesn't know what financially means and "thinks nappies cost a lot". But the girl was sleeping with 8 guys? Whoa! At 15 I hardly knew what sex was lol.

It seems that they will receive at least 0.5M GBP in terms of television and other media interviews. No wonder other boys are coming forward to claim paternity!

All I can say is unbelievable!

The mother of the baby is not certain who the father is, she had 3 boyfriends - all allowed to sleep over by her mother - the 13 year old boys father has 9 kids and is making money by selling his story to anyone who cares to listen.

Broken Britain at it's worst.

that age is too young to be a dad lol

Hi, John,

If you move to England, do so as an illegal immigrant - just turn up and (especially if you restrict your verbalising to the two words "Social Security") you will be given everything your heart could desire.

It is a sad fact that the British government loathes its' own victims (sorry, citizens) to a degree that is mind boggling. I believe that it is 0nly in the UK that a black man can claim racial prejudice but cannot be accused of it - no matter what he does to demonstrate it.

It is a sad fact that pensioners in the UK who have been through one, possibly two, wars and made enormous personal sacrifices in the process have their every benefit claim minutely examined while an illegal immigrant can claim whatever he wants and get it - it would be racial prejudice to deny it!

It is a sad fact that the Labour maladministartion is still fighting desperately to prevent a few loyal, time served Gurkhas retiring in the UK - even though they fought for the crown and wore the Queen's uniform after swearing their allegiance!

This young person is following a great British tradition created by the welfare mentality. She is looking to get a place of her own and, despite her youth, will probably get it.

I think its sad that kids these days are having sex when they are too young mentally to handle the possible consequences, and this isnt even taking into account what true love means.

John Henderson- what makes you want to actually work when you can get everything you want and need absolutely free and can live better off than the working class? All you need to do is have some kids and don't get married, just shack up.

It doesn't seem to have occurred to politiciand and educators that they just could be making things worse by starting sex education younger and younger. In the UK it now gets addressed in primary school and doctors are prescribing contraceptive pills etc for kids well under 16 but they are not allowd by law to consult or inform the parents.

I note that the UK government statistics show that there hasn't been much of a change in recent years in what they define as "teenage pregnancy" - but they define that as births to girls under 18. Hang on. It's legal to have sex when you reach 16. Surely the real figues we need are for births to girls under 16 and a half!

Its bordering on child abuse really. That little boy - I saw him on tv - has absolutely no idea what is happening to him. A reporter asked him how he would managed finacially and he said "whats financially"? Poor lad.

Wow, that's shocking but I'm sure it happens all the time. The fact that he looks like a 2nd grader is what scares me.

The disturbing part is that he looks like a 2nd grader, but I'm sure these things happen all the time. I don't know why this is such big news but parents do need to make an effort to keep their children honest as long as they can, at least.

All I can say is WOW! Isn't that interesting...

Brandon

Wow, he doesn't even look 13, more like 8. That's crazy stuff :|

WOW, that is pretty crazy. Can you imagine being in high school, like 15 years old and having a 28 year old pops?

When I read about it, what angered me most was the 15 year old slut who KNEW BETTER should have had been put on birth control right from the start. I'd say about the time that mom said it was okay for boys to sleep over (WTF?)

I would actually understand if the boy said he didn't know about protection. The parents think it's the schools job, the schools think it's the parents job and nobody ends up teaching these kids in a way that really hits home to them.

*sigh*

eCover, maybe she did it on purpose to get free housing, free food, and other free benefits. She wouldn't be the first.

But in this day and age EVERY kid knows about condoms and birth control and even the morning after pill. Even if your parents don't teach you, you learn from peers, sex ed, TV and movies, somewhere. I don't know about UK but in 8th grade we were required to take sex ed where they taught all about how to prevent pregnancies.

Obviously little is known of the way the Social Services work in the UK.

To get this story into perspective - it is now fairly well established that the girl's mother not only knew she was sexually active but gave her blessing and allowed the boys to sleep in her room.

The 13 year old was apparently chosen to be 'named' as the father because this would appeal to the gutter press and give rise to much media interest and large cash payments for interviews.

The girl lives in an over-crowded house and this was one way to get a place of her own.

What will happen now is that the Social Services will provide all that this girl, her baby and whoever is finally accepted as the father, will need to live a life of relative ease. She will get accommodation, rent rebates, exemption from council tax, single parent allowance (unless she marries), furniture, decoration and clothing subsidies, subsidies for baby necessities and anything else that she finds to claim.

Living 'on the social' is a fine art in the UK and there are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of out of work layabouts enjoying the hard earned money of the British tax payer.

There is something drastically wrong with a system that pays someone MORE to be out of work than they could earn if they were working.

There is something inherently evil in a system that actively encourages immature girls to become pregnant.

Single parent rebates????? So UK gives people incentives to be single parents and discourages them from marrying! No wonder the marriage rate is going down and the shacking up rate going up!!

If only the UK were in a warm climate, I'd pack my bags and go.

I am not sure ... whether he is the father of this little girl or not. Is there any report which proved that yes he is the real father. I mean at the age of 13, do you really think that he have done such things. I am sure no condomn company have manufactired condomns for kids.

I would love to see DNA report of kid and his kid as well.

DNA tests.

That is the real joke in this sorry mess.

The local council might well spend tens of thousands of pounds housing this girl but have refused to pay the few poounds it would cost for a DNA test.

Go figure!

Man, his teenage life is gonna suck..

I've seen him on tv.. he looks like an 8 yrs old kid
