A DNA test has shown that another teenager, 15-year-old Tyler Barker, is the biological father of Maisie Stedman, who was born on Feb 9 this year.
Maisie's mother, Chantelle Stedman, 15, was said to have conceived the child after sleeping with Alfie Patten last year, when he was only 12-years-old.
The Children's Secretary, Ed Balls, said that his reaction on seeing photographs of Alfie cradling Maisie as his daughter was to think: "It's not right, this looks so terrible."

Baby-faced Alfie Patten did NOT father baby girl at 13 - Tyler Barker, 15, did
Baby-faced Alfie Patten did NOT father a baby girl at 13, we can reveal following a court judgment.
The real dad of schoolgirl Chantelle Stedman's three-month-old daughter Maisie Roxanne is schoolboy Tyler Barker, 15.
Official confirmation of the child's paternity can be revealed following the results of DNA tests.
It followed the Mirror's exclusive story last month when we first revealed that Alfie was not the real father, nailing another far-fetched claim by a downmarket tabloid.
Earlier this year the real father, a soccer-mad 15 -year-old, claimed he that he had unprotected sex with Chantelle, 15, on just one occasion.
And Tyler broke down in tears and said his life was ruined when he first spoke about his fears that he was Maisie's real dad.
The stocky teenager sobbed as he told how he had lost his virginity to Chantelle after spending the night drinking with her at her mother's home in Eastbourne, East Sussex, last May.
Tyler said, :"I did not use any contraception but Chantelle told me that she would take the morning after pill.
"I thought she would take care of it.
"She might have, I don't know.
"I only slept with her the once.
"Now I'm terrified that I could be the daddy and I'm not the only one.
"ll my mates have been teasing me but it's not funny
At the time Tyler's father Chris Ireland, 44, who coaches the Eastbourne Colts under 15's football team, accused Chantelle of seducing his son.
He said:"Tyler was drunk the night he had sex with her.
"He was a virgin and she just, from what he says, she kept baiting him by saying 'I'll make it easy for you. I'll will show you how to do it. I will teach you how it is done.'"
"He was only 13. He knows the actual date he had sex with her.
"It was May 14th last year because we had done a football tournament and it was after the tournament which we had done very well in.
"So after that I allowed him to stay out all night with his friends.
"I knew they were going to a party but I didn't know they were drinking heavily."
Chris, who called for an inquiry into the affair, added: "He's devastated and has broken down in tears at the thought that he might be the baby's father.
"Far from bragging about it, he thinks he is life has been ruined by this."
The riddle over Maisie's real father was sparked shortly after she was born weighing 7lb 3oz at Eastbourne District General Hospital on February 9 this year.
However serious questions were raised about whether Alfie, who would have been just 12 when the child was conceived and who is shy and immature, could in fact be the child's father.
Six young lads then came forward to claim that they had also slept with Chantelle at around the time she would have conceived.
However Chantelle, backed by her mother Penny, 38, insisted that Alfie was the father and that she had no other lovers.
Four foot-tall Alfie, from Hailsham, East Sussex, was said to be devastated by claims that he was not the father of Maisie who friends said he 'adored.'
He insisted: "I am the only boyfriend Chantelle's had and we've been together for two years.
"I must be the dad."
In late February, Alfie and Tyler's parents finally agreed that both boys should take a £300 DNA test to resolve the paternity issue.
