WORRISOME: Youngest Grandfather At 27 As His Daughter Becomes Pregnant At 13

 

A 13 year old girl whose father has been in prison since she was born is 5 months pregnant. The 27-year-old father who was sentenced to prison at 14, for stabbing a man to death is said to be furious about his daughter’s pregnancy.

According to the Daily Mail Uk;

Last night, the family told of their despair at the situation. ‘She has only ever seen her dad in prison,’ one aunt told the Mail.

‘She had no chance. Her dad was furious when he heard she is pregnant but he did the same so what could he say?’ The murderer’s mother, who will become a great-grandmother at 47, is being consoled by friends at her home in the South West.

The girl’s 28-year-old mother has promised to take responsibility for the baby. The jailed murderer cannot be named because to do so would identify his daughter, who is a minor.

He was imprisoned for 11 years for murdering a man who tried to intervene in a robbery. He was due for release last year but his sentence has been extended until next year because he tried to escape from jail.

He apparently begged his daughter not to go through with the pregnancy, but she has since posted messages online about the baby. She uploaded a hospital scan to Facebook, saying she was five months’ pregnant.

The girl has been taken out of school and is now being taught at a special unit for pregnant teens. She still lives with her mother, who has a new partner and two young boys.

Last night, the girl’s mother and maternal grandmother declined to comment.

However, another family member said of the murderer and his daughter: ‘His cousins would take her to prison to see him. He would ask if she was doing her homework.

‘He’d say: “You better had been.” But he’s a kid himself, he does not know what parenting is about.’

The title of Britain’s youngest grandfather is currently held by Shem Davies, of Bridgend, South Wales, whose 14-year-old daughter gave birth to a girl when he was 29.

Mr Davies said at the time: ‘She’ll be a brilliant mum. At first I wasn’t overly pleased that she was pregnant but I soon got over that. Now it’s all about being positive.’

The number of teenage mothers in the UK is five times higher than in the Netherlands and twice that of France and Spain.
