My Dad sometimes gives me £10

It was hard for me to miss this story on the front page of "The Sun" today. It's all about 13-year-old Alfie Pattern who had a one night stand at the age of twelve with 14-year-old girlfriend Chantelle Steadman. This kid's voice hasn't even broken and he's barely out of short trousers, yet he's a father to little baby Maisie.

Sussex Police's Child Protection Division said today "It is not in anyone's interests for a prosecution to take place. Sussex Police Child Protection Team were aware of a 14-year-old girl that had become pregnant as the result of a relationship with a 12-year-old boy". It is now being called for a prosecution to be made against Alfie. Am I the only person that thinks this boy isn't at fault. Firstly, this is another example of "Broken Britain", She lives with her jobless father and five other brothers in a council house, funded by us! He comes from a mother and father who are divorced, and now lives in 3 seperate houses. That says it all. Secondly, he was only 12, and in my books that consitutes as a kid who has barely had any sex education and wouldn't know what he was doing. A fourteen year old girl on the other hand, who in todays world, is perfectly aware of sex etc. She is the one that should be getting prosecuted for this.

Who is now going to be looking after this child, this family, and when she leaves school unemployed....wait it'll be us, the British taxpayer! Where were the parents when this was all going on? Why were they letting their children, especially a young boy of 12, to have unprotected underage sex?! Apparently Alfie's dad sometimes gives him a tenner for sweets, something tells me he's going to need ALOT more than that. Why was Chantelle prescribed the pill at fourteen? I'm sure both families will be struggling to make sense of what's happened and what the future is, as are we all!

I wonder how long Alastair Darling will take for this years budget, I mean how long does it take to say "We are F*****d".
