Prime Minister David Cameron said, “I just thought how worrying that in Britain today children are having children,” after the tale of 13-year-old Alfie Patten went viral.
Alfie became the youngest father in British history even before he reached the legal age to purchase party poppers. Alfie’s life was wrecked beyond repair when it was eventually discovered that the real father was a different young man, only a little older than Alfie. He still deals with a lot of difficulties, such as alcoholism and legal troubles.
But there are more tales of young people becoming parents in Britain than the one involving Alfie and the woman who gave birth to his purported daughter.
The youngest mother in Britain, Tressa Middleton, gave birth to her first daughter when she was just twelve years old. She recently revealed that she is expecting her fourth child.
The mother, who is now 29 years old, announced her pregnancy on social media by sharing an image from the ultrasound. Seventeen years after making news as the youngest mother in British history, she welcomed her newest kid. She captioned her photo, saying, “So guys, it’s another girl!” “Four girls? It’s unbelievable.” Darren, good luck.
The tale of Tressa is a tragic one. Her early years were difficult to say the least because her parents were heavy drinkers and drug addicts. Not long after completing elementary school, at the age of twelve, she gave birth to her first child at the age of eleven.
