ALFIE PATTEN, the 13-year-old who was reported to be Britain's youngest father, has been proven not to be the father of a child born early this year said reports on Friday.

The mother of the child, Chantelle Stedman, told Alfie her baby Maisie was his, after they had unprotected sex when Alfie was only 12-years-old.

However a DNA test has proved that the boy could not be Maisie's father reported the Daily Telegraph newspaper.

Alfie's story caused a worldwide media frenzy after it was first reported by Britain's Sun newspaper and politicians criticised what they called Britain's declining morals.

At first Chantelle said Alfie was the only boy she had ever slept with, but soon after other teens came forward saying they too could be the baby's father, because they claimed to have had sex with the girl. It is still not clear who the baby's father is. Last month a friend of the Stedman family claimed Patten was scammed by the girl's parents who wanted to cash in on the sensational story.
