What is the age of the youngest father in the record?
Youngest father: Sean Stewart, of Sharnbrook, England, became the father of a healthy 6 pound baby boy on January 20, 1998, at age 12. He was given the day off from school to be at the bedside of his teenage girlfriend and next-door neighbor Emma Webster when she gave birth. Described by Emma’s parents as “mature-looking”, the precocious youth first told them he was 14, but later confessed his real age when news of the pregnancy broke. Shocked at first, Sean vowed to stand by both his girlfriend and his child, saying, “I want to be there for the baby and to be part of it all.” As for what the future holds for the young couple, Emma said she planned to continue her education and raise the child herself with the support of her parents.
