At the point when then, at that point, 15-year-old Chantelle Stedman brought forth a child young lady in 2009, England was stunned to discover that the dad was a 13-year-old kid named Alfie Patten.
Supposedly, he lost virginity with Chantelle and she fell pregnant with his kid.
The youthful father was even envisioned holding his little girl Maisie in a clinic bed.
Regardless of how fantastic this story sounded, it was encircled by discussion all along. Assuming Alfie was really the dad, it implied his little girl was considered when he was only 12.
And, after its all said and done State leader David Cameron remarked working on it, saying, “I simply thought how stressing that in England today kids are having youngsters.”
Soon after the hair-raising news spread overall like quickly, six other young men guaranteed they had sex with Chantelle around a similar time, with one of them, then, at that point, 15-year-old Tyler Barker, saying the two had unprotected sex.
As these cases make some waves, Alfie’s and Tyler’s families concurred that both young men ought to take a £300 DNA test to determine the paternity issue. At the point when the outcomes came it, it was resolved that Tyler was, as a matter of fact, the dad.
Alfie’s mom was distraught at the media and the world, asserting the family were being “dealt with like something off the Network program Indecent.”
“Out of nowhere Alfie’s name was being tossed about in Parliament and on the 10 o’clock news. We were depicted as a terrible family from some unacceptable part of town,” she told The Mirror.
Addressing The Sun in 2014, Alfie said, “I was crushed. It was an excessive amount to take in. I weeped for quite a long time and scarcely left my room.
“To exacerbate the situation I at no point ever saw Maisie in the future in light of the fact that Chantelle and her family moved away when they figured out I wasn’t the father.
“I was unable to confront doing anything. I was unable to go to class. I thought my reality had finished.”
Today, 28-year-old Alfie actually battles with his life.
He’s jobless, fights addictions, and experience difficulties with the law. While suspended for shoplifting, burglary and ownership of an impersonation gun, he was indicted for criminal harm subsequent to crushing up vehicles. In 2021, he and his mom were removed from the home they were leasing a result of supposed drug managing.
“The premises were being utilized for drug managing and there was the counter friendly way of behaving pouring out onto the road and influencing the area,” Region Judge Teresa Szagun said of the case. “From what I can accumulate the landowner doesn’t need the Pattens back.”
It’s miserable the way that this man’s life diverted into frightfulness from early age.
