  • DNA: 13-Year-Old Alfie Patten Is Not Actually A Father

    Remember the story of the 12-year-old father from England? He is not the father (cue Mauryish "OHHHHHHHHH!" from the crowd). From UKFamily:

    Baby-faced Alfie Patten – who it was claimed had fathered a baby at the age of 12 – is not the father of the child.

    Alfie, who is now 13, was photographed holding the newborn baby and said he 'adored' her.

    The story sparked a heated debate about family values and under-age sex.

    Alfie underwent the DNA test when claims were made that other boys had slept with the baby's mother.

    Before he took the test, Alfie said: 'I didn't know about DNA tests before but mum explained it's when they do a swab in your mouth and it tells you if you're the dad. So if I have it, they can all shut up.'

    Whoops. If you were in Alfie's shoes, what would you be thinking right now?
