29 Year Old Becomes Youngest Grandfather
Shem spoke of his shock when Tia told
him she was pregnant by her 15-year-old boyfriend Jordan Williams. The
grandad who has a nine-month-old son with new girlfriend Robyn Thomas
said, "One minute Tia's a baby, the next she's pregnant. I could have
yelled at her, but what's the point?" He added, "I wasn't able to cope
with it and I ran away." Shem and Kelly have both been supporting Tia as
she watches over Ava Grace the sixth generation of the family alive.
Both
parents are still in school and plan on finishing, with Tia seeing
herself as a hairdresser in the future. Amazingly, Tia and Jordan have
been dating for 18 months, meaning they were around 13 when they started
going out. These young parents are part of the more than 35,000 kids
under 18 who get pregnant in the UK each year. However, at least half of
those kids get an abortion.
