DNA test shows 13-year-old Alfie Patten is not a dad
Alfie Patten, 13, convinced he was a dad
DNA test shows daughter is not his
Has vowed to stick around anyway
A DNA test showed a 13-year-old boy in Britain is not the father of a baby born to a 15-year-old he had unprotected sex with once.
Chantelle Stedman told Alfie Patten, who was 12 when he slept with her, he was her newborn daughter Maisie's father.
The story caused a worldwide media frenzy after it was first reported by Britain's Sun newspaper, while politicians criticised what they called Britain's declining morals.
At first Stedman said Patten was the only boy she had ever slept with, but soon after other teens came forward saying they too could be the baby's father, because they claimed to have had sex with the girl.
It is still not clear who the baby's father is.
Last month a friend of the Stedman family claimed Patten was scammed by the girl's parents who wanted to cash in on the sensational story.
The Sun reported last month that Alfie had been seen wearing a hoodie emblazoned with the message: "I’m the daddy, if not f*** you all I’ll still be there".

after the whole hoo-ha a few months back, news is that Alfie is finally not the father!
what would you do if you were in his parents position? would you encourage your son to stay around?
i certainly wouldnt encourage my son to stay around. the poor kid was going to stay with her just for the sake of the baby, so at some point in time this relationship was doomed to failure.
