DNA Test Confirms 13-Year-Old Not Dad

A British newspaper is reporting that 13-year-old Alfie Patten is not the father of Baby Maisie, in a case that just keeps getting sadder and more bizarre.

The tests came after many other boys claimed they also slept with the mother, then 14, who had previously said that Alfie was the only boy she had slept with.

Says Alfie's mom, “It had not even crossed Alfie’s mind whether Chantelle had not been faithful to him. He’s absolutely devastated that these lads say they slept with her."

Does that sound like a very unsubtle veiled shot at the poor girl? As Intern Katy says over at Jezebel today, "We can only hope that this news does not stop Maisie from getting the love and care she needs or lead to further slut-shaming of the 15-year-old mother."

Word.

The first link isnt working, but do they know who the father is, or just that it isnt him?

Hmm, that's odd. Now I can't even find it anywhere on the mirror site. I will try to find out what happened.
