Alfie Patten Is Not A 13-Year-Old Dad

This case just keeps getting sadder and sadder: DNA tests have revealed that Alfie Patten, famous 13-year-old father, is not actually the baby’s father.

The Mirror reports that Alfie is not the father of seven-week-old girl Maisie Roxanne. Chantelle Stedman, the girl’s mother, became pregnant at the ridiculously young age of 14. Chantelle has apparently said it was her mother’s idea to lie and tell the press (and Alfie) that she was a virgin when she slept with Alfie. Before taking the paternity test, Alfie defended Chantelle, saying: “I don’t really care what people say. And I don’t like them being bad about Chantelle.” So far there is no news on Alfie’s reaction to the DNA tests. We can only hope that this news does not stop Maisie from getting the love and care she needs or lead to further slut-shaming of the 15-year-old mother. [Mirror]
