As for facing upto his responsibilities now that is rubbish. This is a small youngster who in a few months will want to be back out with his mates playing football and following the icecream van. Did you see the news at tea time? he barely understood the simple questions the reporter asked him He didnt have a clue what to say when asked how he was going to support that child.

Agree there are people out there twice his age that dont look after thier kids but that dosent make this right imo. This lad has every chance of being a good dad sure, but when the time is right. He is still very much a child himself
1. Bit late to teach them about the birds and the bees, so why not educate them on how to give there child the best future.

2. Atleast the lad is trying, sure he might want to go out with his friends in a few months but now the baby is here shouldnt we atleast allow him the chance to prove himself (whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty, this lad has been pre-judged by most of you, just because he's young and baby faced doesnt make him incapable). i didnt see the news so cant comment on that bit (however i would like to make the point that this lad has probably never been on tv before and id probably struggle to answer basic questions with a news crew surrounding me, i imagine it would be quite daunting).

3. I never said it made it right, my point is that there is a baby involved in this situation and the baby should be put first, someones age is not representive of there maturity or thier ability to be a good parent.
