Because a 12 year old getting a teenager pregnant creates more media interest than a 16year old getting someone pregnant, and will earn them more money.Quote:

Who knows why people do and say things?
He looks so young for 13, and conversely she looks old for 15 - they are a strange looking couple.
The other boys who have admitted sleeping with her are idiots. If she has slept with any intelligent boys then they will be keeping their heads down hoping that they don't get found out.
It is so sad to see children throwing away their youth pretending to be adults.
It is even more sad when an innocent wee baby is brought into the mix.
I was reading on NOTW's website and it says that within the time she got pregnant she had slept with anything upto 10 lads. This is what one of the suspected fathers had said cos his mates had slept with her too.
Altogether 3 lads have admitted sleeping at her house and sleeping with her within the same time period. Why on Earth would her parents let lads sleep at her house. She is 15 years old n having loadsa different lads sleeping at her house n her parents arent bothered. What a disgrace. They shouldnt be allowed kids when they are so immature themselves.
I am sorry if no one agrees with me but he just looks so young and childish whereas the girl looks alot older. The photos actually look perverted and are disgusting. Why on earth if you were there parents would you let this go on and then sell stories to the papers basically saying that your kids are slappers and have ruined their lives.
I agree, but you only need to watch one episode of Jeremy Kyle or the like to see that there are people out there that do not have their children' best interests at heart.Quote:

It is very sad.
i would love to see the parents of these two teens, their not caring how the child will be supported as the money coming in from stories will be doing them just now but where will little baby maisie be left when the stories run dry and the money runs out
The parents are letting their kids be paraded like circus freaks for publicity and dosh. Someone had to inform the media and I bet it was Alfie or Chantelle's mum.
true but maybe they didnt want to miss out if it was their babyQuote:

Thirteen-year-old Alfie Patten is the victim of a scam, his girlfriend having been told to pretend he was the father of her baby so their families could strike lucrative deals with the media, a family friend has claimed.
Intense media scrutiny in the UK and around the world has focused on the East Sussex teen, who reportedly conceived baby Maisie with girlfriend Chantelle Steadman, who is 15. Alfie was 12 at the time and Chantelle was 14.
Both Alfie and Chantelle's parents are believed to have netted thousands of pounds in media deals, the Daily Mail said.
But a close friend of Chantelle's parents, Clive Sim, said Chantelle was told by her mother to say Alfie was the father so they could cash in on the story.
A number of other older teens have since claimed to be Maisie's father.
Mr Sim, 39, said the schoolgirl was ordered to keep quiet about sleeping with other boys so the story could be sold to newspapers for thousands of pounds, the Mail reported.
"Penny told Chantelle to keep quiet about other boys because they wouldn't get any money," said Mr Sim, who has reportedly known Chantelle's parents for years.
"They know that Alfie being the dad makes a better story. I think there's a big scam going on here."
Mr Sim's claims come as the UK media watchdog, the Press Complaints Commission (PCC), said it would investigate allegations tabloid papers The Sun and The People paid for Alfie's story.
The Sun, which broke the story on Friday, ran a photo of Alfie and Maisie on its front page.
Alfie has since said he would take a DNA test to prove he fathered Maisie after two other teenagers told the News Of the World they also slept with Chantelle.
But Mr Sim claimed Alfie was being "exploited" by the families to make as much money as possible, the Mail said.
"It's all pretty sordid ... Alfie may not be an angel and nor is Chantelle.
"But at the end of the day they are only children and it is the adults around them making bad decisions based on money, not their welfare."
Mr Sim said Chantelle's mother also walked in on her young daughter having sex in the past.
Trainee chef Richard Goodsell, 16, said he had sex at least three times with Chantelle around the time she became pregnant, the Mail said.
"I know I could be the father," he said.
"Everyone thinks I am. My friends all tell me that the baby has my eyes - even my mum thinks so."
