Alfie Patten picture from The SunThe news about Alfie Patten has been everywhere over the past few days.  If you have missed it somehow, Alfie is the 4-foot-tall-babyfaced-poster-child of teen pregnancy.  13 year old Alfie, to make matters worse, is even involved in a paternity battle with two other teenage boys.  We got to see some images of Alfie over the past couple days, but now we get to hear the voice of teenage pregnancy in the U.K.    

In this video from Sky News, at around 35 seconds, the reporter asks Alfie, "What will you do financially?"  Giggling is heard off in the background and Alfie responds, "What's financially?"  Later, around 53 seconds into the clip, Alfie admits that he is too young to be a father
  

For me, hearing Alfie's voice, really magnified the depth of this predicament.  Did watching this video impact you? hearing his voice?
