A school boy of 13 has become one of Britain’s youngest dads, underlining concern about the rate of teenage pregnancies in the country.
Four-foot Alfie Patten, who looks considerably younger than his age, was just 12 when his 15-year-old girlfriend Chantelle Steadman conceived after a night of unprotected sex.
Former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith said the “tragic” case illustrated the country’s social decline.
