London: A pair of 14-year-old school children have become Britain's youngest parents.

April Webster, of Caerphilly, South Wales, who began having sex with the child's father Nathan Fishbourne since September 2009, gave birth to son Jamie four weeks ago, The Sun reported on Saturday.

The pair met when they were pupils of St. Cenydd school. While Nathan is still in school, April has dropped out and now attends a "young mums" centre. "Jamie wasn't planned, but I'm going to be a great mum for him.

"He's perfect and I'm going to give him everything he ever wants," April said.

Though the child is living with April and her parents, Nathan said: "I'd love to have him at weekends — and April can have him five days during the week."

State of relationship

The teenagers are, however, confused over the state of their relationship. April said they are having a "cooling off period" and that she was unsure if their partnership will last.

"He has not turned his back on the baby but he's asking to do things like have him stay over at his house and that has caused some arguments.

"We have a few things to sort out," she said.

Jamie arrived on November 15.

Though he was born with a malformed oesophagus which hindered his feeding, he was declared healthy after an operation and allowed to go home.

Their parents were stunned when they learned of the pregnancy — but are now supportive of their children.
