13-Year Old British Daddy Is Still British, But Not A Daddy: DNA DeBunks Claim

Do you remember this one, the story of Alfie Patten, the 13-year old boy who fathered a child in Britain?  Outrageous we said!  Criminal we said!  A sad, sad day for playgrounds around the world we said!  Not true the DNA said.

Yep, after all the outrage and 3 page stories, turns out Alfie Patten isn’t the father of the child after all.

Before he took the test, he 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 if you’re the dad. So if I have it, they can all shut up.”

His mum Nicole, 43, added at the time: “It had not even crossed Alfie’s mind whether Chantelle had not been faithful to him. He’s absolutely devastated that these lads say they slept with her.”

The “Lads” are 15 other boys who claim they had sex with the mother, 15-year old Chantelle Stedman.  And I always thought British schools were better than this.  The kids who live in Eastbourne (a retirement community by the way) are now locked in a battle of cheating hearts now that DNA testing has confirmed that the now 7 week -old baby girl was not fathered by Alfie.

I know this is all pretty insane and ludicrous, but I kind of feel for these kids.  Every single bit of it is way too much for children to be dealing with, wether by their own design or not.
