When I managed a Pizza Hut in Cedar Rapids, I had a 29 year old Grandmother who worked for me. She had a kid at 14, and her 15 year old daughter had just had a kid.

Oh, did I mention she was pregnant?

Um, that is just scary. Babies having babies.

The parents obviously weren't there in the first place.

So, grandpa "Dennis" 45 who has fathered 9 children, 5 from the woman he is living with, and he gives his 13 year old son kudos for interrupting his video game playing to actually show up to the hospital to see the baby.

Frankly, I don't see any real parents anywhere in that family. I just see cats and dogs, having litters.

I mean, who needs an organized society, anyway. This whole civilization thing is over-rated, hmmm?

If this had been in the U.S., would the girl have been a "felon" instead of a "girlfriend"?

No way that kid is a father. I think that site might be the online British version of The Star Magazine (of "Baby's Head Explodes!" fame).

Re: Being a dad at 13?

Easy, guys.. He puts his pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once his pants are off, he makes babies.

Eh look on the bright side, the baby is healthy and will have a very interesting life.

When I managed a Pizza Hut in Cedar Rapids, I had a 29 year old Grandmother who worked for me. She had a kid at 14, and her 15 year old daughter had just had a kid.

I attended ISU with a guy who's mother was 30 when we were freshmen. A group of us were watching football when the old Ford commercial came on, highlighting five generations of the same family who all drove Ford pickups. He said, "that's nothing, I have six generations alive." He was born when his mother was 13 and a younger brother had already sired a child. If I recall correctly, the family was from Sioux City.

Having shared this, I agree with whomever suggested this story is a prank. Alfie's 4' tall; no way he's gone thru puberty with the way he looks! Lastly, the girlfriend lives on the British equivalent of welfare but the story says Alfie lives on an estate across town. Is Alfie slummin' it, or does estate mean something different these days. Sounds like his dad's a repo man...

Right before leaving for my Officer Basic Course, my unit's recruiter and I were going to take advantage of my martial arts training to put on a recruiting day for high school freshmen (and sophomores, I think) in a high school P.E. class. We spent weeks planning for every contingency we could think of. I planned to keep things to some simple harmless moves, just some minor body turns from the hips and shoulders to turn a person away, throwing them off balance.

I present the moves in the first period of the day, living every former enlisted guys dreaming of throwing a recruiter around, and we pair up to practice. Suddenly, a teacher runs up to me in a near-panic state and says, "Sir, do you want the pregnant girls to throw each other?"

Well, we weren't doing any throws, but that wasn't important. The recruiter and I look back and forth in a deer-in-the-headlights moment, and I ask, "What was that?" She repeats herself, and I quickly state that it would be OK for them not to throw each other. Watching would be just fine.

Little did I know that it wasn't a couple of girls, but like half a dozen:wideeyed::wideeyed::wideeyed::wideeyed:

We had ourselves an interesting lunch as we reviewed the morning's action.:wideeyed::yes::confused:

So now the boy has to do a paternity test, since three other boys have come forward claiming to be the father!! Hmm, makes you wonder a few things.
1) Is this a badge of honer in England, to be having sex at this age.
2) Is being able to produce a child a good thing.
3) How committed was this girl to this 13 year old boy.

Still leaves some sad questions that needs adult answers.

Here's another way to put a twist on this...imagine graduating high school and your kid is going into Kindergarten...or if everything falls just right, he could be a senior in high school and the kid in kindergarten! Does Jeff Foxworthy have any jokes on this yet? If not here is his opportunity!

Today, seeing young teens having families is hard. Yet girls were often married off by 12. I think that there are still places that do that...

Want to know what's really sad? I knew kids in my 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classes that were "active." I think the only thing that prevented them from getting pregnant was the girls' parts weren't quite "all the way" working yet.

Yes, but they were generally the umpteenth wife of a 40 year old man. As creepy as that sounds, at least the baby was taken care of.
