Trigger: Some of these stories contain details of child sexual abuse

Most 12-year-old boys are busy riding their bikes around the neighbourhood, killing zombies on Playstation and ignoring their mothers’ requests to put their socks in the laundry basket. Most 12-year-old boys are not preparing for fatherhood. But some have had to do just this. Babies having babies is something that we see in the news often and it’s sad to see, really. Below we share a few of the stories of the world’s youngest fathers – these boys became fathers before they even hit teenagehood.

Sean Stewart was just 11 when he impregnated his 15-year-old next-door neighbour, Emma Webster. This happened back in 1998 and you probably remember the headlines. Their son, Ben Louis, was born just one month after Sean’s 12th birthday. Media outlets shared the story of how Romeo Sean would clamber across the roof to meet his Juliet at night. At the start, Sean, Emma and Ben remained a tight-knit family. Sean recalled how he would go to school and Emma and Ben would wait for him to come back on the bus every afternoon.

This allegedly occurred in 2014. According to sources, one afternoon, in between classes, the young boy and his friend went to his friend’s house. The mother was there and served them alcohol and repeatedly forced him to have intercourse with her. This went on for months until the mother fell pregnant. Later on, this innocent young boy confessed the incident to his primary school principal. The mother has since been arrested and charged. The young boy was 11 when the woman fell pregnant and was 12 when the baby was born. The baby was placed in foster care.

Chantelle and Maisie moved away shortly after so he hasn’t seen Maisie since. These days Alfie is having trouble with the law after recently being booted out of his home for alleged drug dealing.

The abuse started when the young boy was only 11 years old and the live-in nanny was hired to care for Chris. According to reports, Marissa groomed the young boy for several months and told him he couldn’t tell anyone about their ‘games’.

7. 13-year-old unidentified boy

Where: UK

We don’t know his name, but we know the mother’s name: Leah Cordice. She was 17 at the time and was the young boy’s babysitter. During 2017 and 2018, the courts heard how Leah would bribe the boy with treats and Fish n Chips to keep their trysts a secret. At the time of the baby’s birth, Leah was married. Her now ex-husband thought the baby was his. However, it was later revealed through a DNA test that the baby – a girl, was the 13-year-old boy’s child. Leah is now jailed and the 13-year-old boy does not have contact with his daughter, something that he is fighting to change. The boy told the court: “I cannot see my child and have not had any involvement with her recently. Seeing my daughter and then having her taken out of my life was very hard to cope with. It feels like I was punished for what I have been through. I hope in the future I can move on from this and have a relationship with my daughter.”
