I’m a teen mum, I didn’t want a boyfriend to take me to my prom like my mates – so I took my toddler as a date instead | The Sun

A TEEN mum has shared the special moment she took her toddler son to her school prom as her plus one.

16-year-old Melissa McCabe, from Tranmere in Merseyside, welcomed her little boy Arthur, one, to the world while studying at school. 


Since Melissa, who gave birth in November 2020 aged 15, has dedicated her life to raising her son as a single mum.

So much so that when she was invited to her school prom, Melissa knew she wanted to have her little boy by her side.

In a now viral video on the social media site, Melissa shared a sweet montage of pictures of them dressed up for the occasion.

While she wore a blue prom dress, a smiley Arthur was all suited and booted for the big event.
