When Alfie Patten’s girlfriend of two years, Chantelle Stedman, gave birth to a girl baby early this February, he was proud at the thought of becoming Britain’s youngest father. He seemed devoted to the child, Maisie, promising to leave school as soon as possible so he could be financially responsible for her and even missing days from school to take care of who he though was his daughter. Alfie’s dream of playing father has come crumbling down with the latest revelations.

Alfie didn’t believe it when Tyler Barker claimed to be the father of Maisie just days after her delivery, even adding that Chantelle had slept with five other boys at school, because she had promised Alfie that she was a virgin. Alfie’s belief even prodded him to declare his trust in her by wearing a t-shirt screaming out I’m the Daddy! DNA tests done after six different boys claimed to be the child’s father has now proven that little Alfie is in fact not the real father. 14 year old Tyler Barker can now proudly lay claim to this admirable feat. The tests were done on the boys after child services stepped in due to the disturbing news that Chantelle had sexual relations with other boys in her school.

Tyler’s father claims Chantelle seduced him while he was drunk and that the boy had wept at the idea of being the child’s father. Before the results of the tests were revealed, Tyler said that he had never truly fancied Chantelle and that he hoped he was not the father. With the latest news, though, Tyler insists he would take responsibility for his child. The idea of teenage boys fighting for the baby as they would fight over a rare baseball card is shocking enough, but more shocking is the revelation that Chantelle’s mother was aware that Tyler had slept over at her place regularly but never came forward to admit this. Britain has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies, and yet when Chantelle and Alfie first announced their decision not to abort the child they were lauded by the anti-abortion Christian charity, LIFE.
