(Information was taken from: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5724616.ece)

FEBRUARY 13, 2009
Alfie Patten,13, and his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman, 15, decided to keep Maisie who was conceived after one night of unprotected sex.
Alfie, who is just 4ft tall, hasn't yet hit puberty and was 12 when the baby was conceived. His daughter Maise Roxanne was born four days ago and weighed 7 Lb 3oz.
These children found out 12 weeks into the pregnancy but hid it from their parents for a further six weeksuntil Chantelle's mother, Penny, became suspicious when her daughter started gaining weight and confronted her about it.
The legal age for heterosexual or homosexual sex in England, Wales and Scotland is 16, in Northern Ireland teens must be 17 before they can legally have physical contact. If two immature teens have sex it is illegal but the law is not widely obligatory and usually the law stopsproceedings on the justification of public interest. If parents are conscious of their underage children having sex they could theoretically be judged by police.
Denny Patten, Alfie's father, said his son has not understood the gravity of the situation - but seemed to want to be a good father.
