News items on 'Paternity Testing'
Boy aged 12 did not father baby
(BBC 18/05/2009)
Alfie Patten, the boy who was reported to have fathered a child when he was 12 years old, is not the baby's father, DNA tests have shown. Alfie, now 13, from Eastbourne in East Sussex, told a national newspaper in February that he believed he had made his 15-year-old girlfriend pregnant. But the tests established in March that a 15-year-old boy from Eastbourne is the father of Chantelle Stedman's baby. The results of the DNA tests have been made public following a judge's ruling.
