Forums - General Discussion - Boy, 12, becomes the youngest father in Britain

"Sean Stewart became the youngest father in Britain yesterday when his girlfriend gave birth to a healthy son.

Sean, 12 last month, was allowed to miss school to be at the bedside of his 16-year-old girlfriend, Emma Webster, her parents, Ray and Shirley, and Sean's mother, Theresa. The pair, who are neighbours at Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, were 11 and 15 when Emma became pregnant. Sean and his mother moved next door to the Websters in November 1996 and he became Emma's boyfriend shortly after that. He is a 7th year at Margaret Beaufort School in the nearby village of Riseley. Emma is studying for her GCSEs - including one in child care - at Sharnbrook Upper School.

Last summer, Sean said he would stand by Emma and be there for the baby. "I was shocked at first when I was told Emma was pregnant but I am all right about it now." Emma said she thought Sean had told her he was the same age as she was when they started going out."

this story is from 1998 and yes at the age of 12 a male is sexually advanced to impregnate a female.



of course any guy would know how certain guys reach puberty really fast and others start much latter.

I have two younger cousins at age 15 and 14.

The 15 year old looks like a 18 year old and the 14 year old looks way younger.



lol headline reminded me of this



Around the Network

Wednesday 21 January 1998.

The child's now older than the father was when this news was released.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Yeah dude I can testify to the late puberty. I only started growing when I was 15 1/2 going on 16...
still this is quite an old news article, and there's been a few other articles on the most read section of the independent that have been from the 90's



"They will know heghan belongs to the helghast"

"England expects that everyman will do his duty"

"we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"

 

My friend just trolled me >:( I asked him for some interesting news, and he gave me this :(

For one man there was a striking feeling of deja vu following the revelation that 13-year-old Alfie Patten had become a father.

Sean Stewart was just 11 when he had sex with his 15-year-old next-door neighbour Emma Webster.

Nine months later he was given the day off school to be present when his son Ben Louis was born on January 20, 1998 - just a month after Sean's 12th birthday.

But now, 11 years after becoming Britain's youngest father, 23-year-old Sean is only able to follow Alfie Patten's story from a prison cell.

Meanwhile, his former girlfriend Emma has moved on, having married another man.
The couple live with 11-year-old Ben and their other children in a £200,000 house.

Sean Stewart's life is a far cry from the promises he made when his son was born.
At the time he lived in Bedford with his single mother Theresa, then aged 38, who had seven children by three different men.

Emma was living next door with her mother Shirley, then 46, and 49-year-old father Ray, who was at the time an unemployed forklift driver.

The story of how Sean would clamber across a roof to meet with Emma made headlines all over the world.

After the birth Sean told the Daily Mail: 'I hope to stay close friends with Emma for as long as possible.

'She comes round to my house every morning before school and meets me off the bus every afternoon.

'Things are OK at the moment and nothing has gone wrong.'

For a time Sean continued to attend Margaret Beaufort middle school in Riseley, but he left Bedford in his early teens.

Since then he has been living on the South Coast and for the past few years has been at various addresses in the St Leonards and Hastings area of Sussex.

He has been in trouble with the police on a number of occasions and was arrested in November last year in relation to an allegation of theft.

When he appeared at Lewes Crown Court last December he was sentenced to a seven-month jail term which he is currently serving at HMP Lewes.

His mother later met and married another man. Asked this week if she had spoken to her errant son recently, she replied: 'I don't know where Sean is.'

Emma had plans to return to school after the pair sold their story to a Sunday newspaper.

Asked three years ago about Sean Stewart she would only say: 'I have not seen Sean for three or four years and he has not seen Ben since then.

'I am married now and have a nice family. Ben is doing well at school. We just want to get on with our lives.

'I don't know where Sean is or what he is doing.

'I don't want to talk about it any more because I don't think it helps Ben.'

Her current entry on the social networking website says she is married to 'a lovely bloke . . . and everything is going good for a change'.
