When the story of then 13-year-old Alfie Patten went viral, then Prime Minister David Cameron stated, \u201cI just thought how worrying that in Britain today children are having children.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even before reaching the legal age to buy party poppers, Alfie became the youngest ever father in Britain. It was later determined that another young man, slightly older than Alfie was the real father, and this incident ruined Alfie\u2019s life completely. Even today, he\u2019s facing plenty of issues, including alcohol abuse and problems with the law.<\/p>\n
However, the story of Alfie and the girl who gave birth to his alleged daughter isn\u2019t the only one of youngsters becoming parents in Britain.<\/p>\n

Tressa\u2019s story is a heartbreaking one. Her parents were alcohol and drug abusers and her childhood was a tough one, to say the least.
