[FRI FEB 13 2009] FOX NEWS - A 13-year-old British boy — with the physical appearance of a child much younger, standing at 4 feet tall — is the father of a new baby girl.
Alfie Patten's girlfriend Chantelle Steadman, 15, became pregnant after a one-time tryst between the two, according to Alfie's father, Dennis.
"He didnt know what he was doing and of the complications that could come," said Dennis Patten.
The young couple kept their situation a secret until Steadman's pregnancy began to show. She said she knew they made a mistake but would be loving parents.
"When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried how people would react," Alfie Patten said.
Despite being a young father, Alfie's father describes him as a typical boy who "loves computer games and boxing."
