The Financial Opportunities Are Pouring In For 13-Yr. Old Dad,Alfie Patten!


Alfie Patten had no idea how he would support his newborn daughter at the age of 13! He contemplated using his allowance that his father gave him to buy diapers.Well,it looks Alfie Patten stands to make a pretty penny if he sells his story.And the offers have started pouring in to his publicist's office!

There is a dispute over the paternity of the baby.So,Alfie Patten plans to open the paternity tests on a talk show,which seems odd to me.He has a publicist & Alfie Patten has been offered money to tell his story.This boy should be chastised for having a baby in the first place!He's just a baby himself!Instead,Alfie Patten gets rewarded with money.Let's just hope that there aren't more kids that get inspired by his story.Some other boy may decide that he can make the news if he has a baby at 11!
Instead of facing shame,Alfie Patten is in the face of fame & fortune.

I once knew a girl who had a baby at 12!Her family moved because of all the negativity they faced over their daughter's decision.There were no book deals or television appearances being offered to her!What has our "society" come to? Here's more from the Telegraph:

"Alfie was outed as the child's father in a national newspaper, which reported that he was just 12-years-old when she was conceived.

His father Dennis, 45, who has reportedly boasted about how much money he can make from the situation, is allegedly considering an offer to have the DNA results opened on a television talk show, according to the Daily Star.

Alfie agreed to take the test after two other boys – Richard Goodsell, 16, and Tyler Barker, 14 – claimed they had been involved in a sexual relationship with Chantelle.

However, she insists that they are lying and Alfie is the father.

Publicist Max Clifford, who is representing the Patten's, said Alfie would be taking the DNA test "as soon as possible".

Channel 4's Cutting Edge is also in early discussions about the possibility of filiming a documentary about Alfie.

One source said the programme would earn the family about £50,000, but Clifford said the real figure was "much below that".

It is rumoured that another television company has offered £80,000 for access to Alfie.

Meanwhile East Sussex County Council said the young parents had received "a package of support" and social workers were due to visit the young parents."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
