When the story of then 13-year-old Alfie Patten went viral, then Prime Minister David Cameron stated, “I just thought how worrying that in Britain today children are having children.”
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’s life completely. Even today, he’s facing plenty of issues, including alcohol abuse and problems with the law.
However, the story of Alfie and the girl who gave birth to his alleged daughter isn’t the only one of youngsters becoming parents in Britain.
Tressa Middleton, the youngest mother in Britain, who gave birth to her first daughter at the age of just twelve, recently announced she’s expecting her fourth child.
The now 29-year-old mom shared the news of her pregnancy on the social media by posting a photo of the ultrasound. She welcomed her latest child 17 years after she made headlines for being the youngest mother Britain has ever seen.
“So guys, it’s another girl!!” she captioned her post. “Four girls, I can’t believe it. Good luck, Darren.”
Tressa’s story is a heartbreaking one. Her parents were alcohol and drug abusers and her childhood was a tough one, to say the least.
She fell pregnant at the age of 11 and gave birth at 12, shortly after finishing elementary school.
Following the birth of her daughter, the young mom battled depression and started using drugs and alcohol, which resulted in losing the custody of her girl. The baby was put up for adoption.
The father’s identity was kept a secret until 2009, or three years after Tressa gave birth.
At one point, she broke down and confessed that her daughter was her brother’s who s******y assaulted her from the time she was seven years old.
The 34-year-old Jason was found guilty and sentenced to four years in prison in 2009.
Speaking to the Daily Mail in 2011, Tressa confessed that “sometimes he blackmailed or bribed me to do it.
“He’d say he was going to tell Mum. He’d give me things – joints, drink, cigarettes. Or he’d threaten me.”
Since then, Tressa has battled to put her life back on track and overcome her addictions, which cost her around £400 every day.
Up until 2011, Tressa was considered to be the youngest mother in Britain. But then, the news of an 11-year-old girl who gave birth filled the headlines.
The girl’s identity was kept a secret, but what is known, as per The Sun, that she was s******y assaulted and her family was unaware of that.
“It has come as a big shock,” a family friend said in 2021 to The Sun.
“She’s now being surrounded by expert help. The main thing is that she and the baby are OK.”
Prior to the case of Alfie, it was Sean Stewart who was thought to be the youngest father in Britain.
In 1998, Sean’s next door neighbor, Emma Webster, 15, got pregnant with his child. At the time, Sean was 11 years old.
A month after turning twelve, Sean’s son, Ben Louis, was born and Sean was granted a day off from school.
Sean and Emma were neighbors and according to her, he would climb to her rooftop to see her.
“He said he was 12, I’d never have gone out with him if I’d known he was 11,” she told The Sunday Telegraph at the time.
Shortly after giving birth, Emma married someone else and moved to a £200,000 house, while Sean continued attending his local school before leaving Bedfordshire in his early adolescence.
According to The Daily Mail, in the early 2000s, he was incarcerated for seven months for stealing.
Speaking of him, Emma said at the time, “I don’t know where Sean is or what he is doing. I don’t want to talk about it anymore because I don’t think it helps Ben.”
No matter how unbelievable these stories sound, the one that is the most shocking of all is that of Lina Medina from Peru who gave birth at the age of just five. Today, Medina is 89 years old.
When she gave birth in 1939, she became the youngest mother in the history. Allegedly, she suffered from “precocious puberty,” a disorder that causes puberty to start earlier than usual.
At the time, it was believed that Medina’s child was her father’s but he was eventually freed of all charges because of insufficient evidence.
Teenage couples of a comparable age who have consensual s*x in the UK and are under the legal consent age of 16 are unlikely to face legal action.
But all s****l activity with children under the age of 13 is illegal.
Pauley Perrette’s life has completely changed since she left NCIS. All prayers are with her.
Pauley Perrette disclosed that in 2021 she had experienced a stroke.
Fans were initially critical of her new hairstyle after she dyed it, but by 2023, most of them appeared to have changed their minds.
Perrette departed from “NCIS” due to a well-known co-star’s actions.
Pauley Perrette talked about a health issue she had on September 2, 2021 in a social media video that she posted in September 2022. The actress disclosed that it was the first anniversary of her severe stroke.
The celebrity talked on how difficult that time had been for her, as she had lost close ones and friends. Perrette expressed her gratitude and faith-filledness, referring to herself as a survivor for having overcome her experiences.
The famous person talked about how she had avoided death multiple times after suffering from potentially fatal food and hair color sensitivities. She has also overcome domestic abuse, sexual assault, and an almost fatal attack by a deranged homeless person. After two years of suffering, Perrette felt “good” about herself and her rescue pets.
Her appearance has evolved since she left her most well-known position on “NCIS” as forensic specialist Abby Sciuto. Fans first reacted negatively to the actress’s new appearance, but some of them have subsequently softened. The year before she disclosed her stroke, Perrette flaunted her rainbow-colored hair.
After quitting “NCIS,” how did Pauley look like, and what reaction did her fans have?
Perrette shared a number of pictures of herself on Twitter on November 10, 2021, showing off a new appearance. The celebrity said she looked like a “rainbow” after dyeing her hair, and the pictures showed her hair tousled and damp.
One troll remarked the actress’s hair was “ugly” before declaring they weren’t sorry for their remarks. The individual said Perrette “looked cheap” with her new appearance, despite having “such a beautiful face.” The commentator pointed out that Perrette’s appearance was limited to Walmart patrons.
The reviewer expressed their admiration for colorful hair but thought the celebrities’ hair was “ratty.” She was criticized by someone else who stated her appearance was “horrible,” and someone else said it was “awful.”
But, it appeared that after Perrette disclosed that she had experienced a stroke and other hardships in life, people’s opinions had changed. The famous person uploaded multiple photos to Instagram on July 24, 2023. The first photograph featured her looking amazing with rainbow-colored hair.
Perrette declared that she is “terrified of Harmon” and that she fears an attack from him.
In response, someone told her to “keep on being you” since she was “awesome.” Another admirer dubbed her “Aunt P” said the actress was “so beautiful” and professed their love for her, while still another remarked on how well she could make others smile.
The admirer believed that Perrette was content in the remaining photos and advised her to “stay you,” be happy, and keep safe.
After working on “NCIS” for 15 years, Perrette left the show in 2018. According to a number of sources, the actress quit the show in 2016 due to a reported falling out with her co-star Mark Harmon. The two were reportedly having problems behind the scenes.
According to reports, Harmon brought his dog to the scene that year, and it bit a crew worker, requiring fifteen stitches. The fact that they never shared a screen shot during the actress’s farewell episode served as evidence of their falling out.
When Perrette visited the “NCIS” headquarters to bid her coworkers farewell, her co-star’s character only got a letter that he read as she was observing him from the other side of the street.
She declared in a 2019 Twitter post that she would never change her part in the show. Perrette declared that she was “terrified of Harmon” and that she feared an attack from him. The actress claimed that she was having nightmares about the potential catastrophe and that she had moved on to a new, pleasant program that was safe.
