A 29-year-old man has become the youngest grandfather in Britain

lollywood —

A 29-year-old man has become the youngest grandfather in Britain after his 14-year-old daughter gave birth, a media report said.

Shem Davies - of Bridgend, Wales - was also 14 when he became a father for the first time, The Sun reported.

His schoolgirl daughter Tia now has had a girl before her 15th birthday, it said.

Davies - who split with Tia's mother Kelly three months after she was born - said he was 'absolutely delighted' at the news.

Davies was 'shocked' when his daughter told him she was pregnant by her 15-year-old boyfriend.

He also has a nine-month-old son with new girlfriend Robyn Thomas.

'One minute Tia's a baby, the next she's pregnant. I could have yelled at her, but what's the point? I know how hard it's going to be for them because I was in their shoes at the same age. I didn't handle it very well when I became a dad at 14. I wasn't able to cope with it and I ran away,' he said.

Tia's mother Kelly said: 'My worst nightmare has always been that Tia would repeat my mistake and get pregnant young. I always lectured her about contraception

Ya'qubJudge not for you be judged

True say. The world moves on. I agree with the fact that perhaps they are too young but these things have happened and are happening. Sometimes it will do good to the world and sometimes maybe not.

But you should not be so quick to jump on the saddle and start judging people.

I hate the idea of young marriages any where in the world

fair enough!

But this the-west-is-evil rhetoric spoils some of ur posts
otherwise...u make some sense at times

I never said the west was evil but some of the things that go on in the west are wrong ok they may happen else where as well but the rate is higher in the west

What do you do then?

Hate hate hate.

On this topic, what is the alternative - what we have in the west that you hate so passionately?

You can't expect people to have no desires and the question is how do you let them act on them.

Tell your children not to get pregnant at such an early age, teach them that having children is not a joke its a huge responsibility
