The families of an 11-year-old boy and the 15-year-old girl he made pregnant were last night struggling to come to terms with the fact that the youngsters were having a baby.
Theresa Stewart and her son, Sean, 11, now Britain's youngest known father, have gone into hiding while the mother-to-be, Emma Webster, 15, braved the media with her parents.

For one man there was a striking feeling of deja vu following the revelation that 13-year-old Alfie Patten had become a father. Sean Stewart was just 11 when he had sex with his 15-year-old next-door neighbour Emma Webster. Nine months later he was given the day off school to be present when his son Ben Louis was born on January 20, 1998 - just a month after Sean's 12th birthday. But now, 11 years after becoming Britain's youngest father, 23-year-old Sean is only able to follow Alfie Patten's story from a prison cell. Meanwhile, his former girlfriend Emma has moved on, having married another man. The couple live with 11-year-old Ben and their other children in a pound;200,000 house.
