Schoolgirl gives birth to twins

12 April 2012

A 15-year-old schoolgirl has given birth to twins fathered by her classmate boyfriend.

Samantha Humphries was 14 and her boyfriend Daniel Sargent was 15 when the tots - Liam and Ryan - were conceived, the Liverpool Echo reported.

The teenage mum and her boyfriend said they want to set up home together and take care of their boys like a normal family.

But for the time being they are living with their respective parents in Southport, Merseyside, while the baby boys are kept in hospital special care baby units.

"We just can't wait to get them home," Samantha told the paper.

"We will be arguing over whether to put them in Liverpool or Manchester United kits," she said, because she supported the Anfield club but the father followed the Red Devils.

Daniel said: "After the scan we were told it was twin girls so it was even more of a shock when Sammii gave birth to boys. I am going to try and be the best father I can."

Samantha's mother Janet Gilbert added: "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.

"What's important now is that we get on with it."
