"I have a daughter, I'm going to be a father!"
In 2019, 13-year-old Alfie excitedly announced that this 1.2m tall, childish British boy who has not changed his voice is immersed in the joy of becoming a new father.
The Sun reports that "13-year-old boy likes to be a daddy"
As a result, he became the "youngest dad" in the world, breaking the Guinness World Record at the time.
When the reporter asked him how he would financially support his daughter in the future, Alfie, who had just graduated from elementary school, asked the reporter what did "financial" mean?
Later, he broke his fingers and lowered his head to seriously think about this question: I can use my pocket money to raise the baby, but he quickly became discouraged, because he understood that sometimes the father only gave him $10 in pocket money, which was not enough to buy snacks for himself, how to raise his daughter?
Seeing the photo above, can you think that this is a family of three?
It is estimated that most people's first reaction: this is a photo of the mother who has just given birth to her second child and her two children.
However, this turned out to be 13-year-old Alfie and 15-year-old wife Chandel, holding their newborn daughters in their arms.
Why 13-year-old boys "like to be daddy"
The boy Alfie and the girl Cyndel are only 2 years apart in age, the two live very close, their families are very poor, and they belong to the bottom of society in the UK.
The same background makes the two children have a lot of common topics, and naturally become good playmates, sometimes the two children play until dark, will also stay in each other's homes, both parents do not care, after all, they think it is two children who do not know the world.
But the parents of both sides never expected that the two children crossed the line between men and women and tasted the forbidden fruit.
It is also blamed on the negligence of the education of both parents, and the two children are almost blank in sex education and how to protect themselves.
One day, Alfie and Chandelier were walking home from school hand in hand, and Chandelier suddenly told Alfie: "I have your baby, I want to give birth to him!" ”
Alfie was directly confused at that time, and did not understand what this meant at all? Don't know what to do? I saw Chandel crying nervously, she was very scared, and she thought to herself: I must not let my mother know, otherwise she will kill me!
So, the two quickly reached a consensus and hid their parents together.
Paper can't cover the fire after all, Xiandai'er's stomach will not lie, coupled with a strong pregnancy reaction, Chandel's mother thought that her daughter was sick, so she took her daughter to the hospital.
But the doctor's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shocking this mother who had been squeezed to the limit by life!
"Don't you know that your daughter is almost 5 months pregnant."
Pregnant at such a young age, normal parents will let them be beaten, but their parents chose to let Chandel give birth to the child, and their ignorance was once again doomed to subsequent tragedies...
In this way, the child came to this world quietly, and Alfie became a father at the age of 13, and it became popular all over the country for a while.
Sadness - children have become a "profit tool" for parents
Alfie's "young fame" instantly attracted the attention of various British media, and many journalists wanted to come to his home every day to conduct interviews.
Sadly, instead of seeing how much side effects the media exposure will have on his child's growth, Alfie's father took advantage of his son's misfortune and triumphantly and consciously found a way to "make a fortune" - selling his son's anecdotes to hungry journalists at a high price.
Soon, parents on both sides took advantage of their children's popularity and made a lot of money.
But for Alfie, it is a sadness that cannot be changed. Because he had to be interviewed almost every day and say something he didn't like, he suddenly found that he couldn't go to school normally, and he couldn't play normally with his friends.
As a result, the originally innocent and lively Alfie became depressed and unwilling to go out, his eyes were full of melancholy, and he began to dislike the life of the current celebrity.
Dramatic twist - "youngest dad" becomes "smallest giant"
Originally, over time, the "youngest dad" would gradually fade into people's memories.
Just when the little boy becomes sad and many people envy Alfie, a dramatic turn occurs.
"He is fake, I am the child's biological father!" The words of the 16-year-old named Richard who fell from the sky shattered the days when everyone was about to return to peace.
Richard revealed that he and Chandel had also had a relationship, they slept together many times, and the child really looked a little like him, and he claimed to take back his flesh and blood from Alfie.
Just when everyone was eating melons with relish and had no time to digest them, another 14-year-old boy named Taylor also jumped out, claiming that he might be the child's father, and Taylor said that he had a one-night stand with Cindale.
And that's not all, but then five more local teenagers claimed to have had relationships with Cindale in the past year, each of them likely to be the child's father.
Alfie's parents were furious, they would never have thought that they would watch grow up, the private life of the simple and naïve 15-year-old "daughter-in-law" would be so chaotic, and she had had sex with at least 8 boys. Unable to bear it, he decided to take a paternity test.
The result came out, and everyone was shocked, the father of the child was really not Alfie, but one of the 7 boys who came to recognize him.
The girl Shandel family has since been disgraced and become the laughing stock of the people around, facing like snowflakes, the pointing on the face made the Cindale family unbearable, and soon moved out of here, leaving poor Alfie alone to face this chicken feather.
A life completely ruined
Time will eventually dilute everything, and Alfie has faded out of sight. Fast forward 10 years, and in 2019, when the media paid attention to him again, Alfie not only became an unemployed vagrant, but also had a criminal record.
It turned out that after that incident, Alfie fell out of school, wandered the streets, and even went to jail for burglary and possession of counterfeit guns.
It's never too late to be a man from scratch, it's just that the prodigal son never looks back.
In 2021, Alfie and her mother were evicted by their landlord for taking drugs and making their neighbors miserable by trading drugs in a rented house.
Who would have thought that the celebrity who was once touted by the media would suddenly become a bad person that everyone hated and avoided.
epilogue
Throughout Alfie's more legendary life than the movie, the reason why the ending is sad, parents are mainly responsible, and the lack of family education from an early age makes Alfie and Cindale not establish a correct view of things.
Taking a step back, if the parents of two children can correct in time when the child goes the wrong way, and pull it correctly, it will not cause a tragic ending.
Parents are the first responsible for the growth of the child, and the child's first teacher, and Alfie's parents' wrong three views have harmed themselves and generations.
In addition, for the sake of traffic, eye-catching media, Alfie's bleak life also played a role in fueling the waves, 13-year-old boy is undoubtedly a unfortunate thing, unfortunately not only not well protected, but by the media unlimited amplification and dissemination, into a tool for profit.
In the process of growing up, children inevitably make mistakes, the key is that when they make mistakes for the first time, parents can give correct guidance and help them establish correct values, so that children can avoid detours.
In addition, society and the media should be more tolerant of misfortune, especially minors, strive to create a positive social environment, and assume due social responsibility.
How to educate children and protect minors well is not only a topic for parents, but also for the whole society.
