Despite their tender years delighted Sammii Humphries and Daniel Sargent vowed to be the perfect mum and dad to little Liam and Ryan. Their baby joy comes as a national debate continues over The Sun’s revelations about
Alfie Patten — the baby-faced lad who became a dad at 13.
Sammii conceived when she was 14 and had no idea she was expecting until she felt something move and went to a family planning clinic.
The year 11 pupil discovered she was already 22 weeks pregnant.
Sammii, from Southport, Merseyside, said: “I was shocked and upset. I didn’t know how to tell my mum.”
That was sorted out by the clinic, who gave her mother Janet Gilbert a call.
Janet said: “The family planning asked me to come down. My first reaction was shock, especially when they said it was twins. But what can you do?
“Daniel stayed here at our house with Sammii the odd night and of course, it happened. You can’t stop young couples when they’re courting. If they weren’t here they would just go somewhere else.”
The tots arrived after only 28 weeks and were immediately put on ventilators — with Liam weighing just 3lb and Ryan only 2lb 9oz.
