A woman who became Britain's youngest mother after a one night stand at the age of 12 has been evicted from her home after throwing 'wild drug-fuelled parties'.
Amy Crowhurst, now 20, gave birth to baby Alfie after a fling with a 15-year-old boy in a youth club. She claimed she never knew his surname or where he lived.
Now Miss Crowhurst, who had a second child named Destiny-Rose in 2006, has been thrown out of her home in Crawley, West Sussex.
It follows complaints from neighbours about loud music and drug-taking on the premises, a spokesman for Crawley Borough Council said.
He said the mother-of-two was evicted by her own landlord as she was a private tenant, but had benefitted from the council's rent deposit scheme.
Landlord David Bryant said Miss Crowhurst had moved into the three-bedroom house just over a year ago. He said: 'She was referred to me by the council. There were problems from the start.
'She has been in court for drug offences and recently had her stereo taken from her because she was making such a nuisance with noise.
'That was the final straw. Something had to be done.'

He said the mother-of-two left the home in a 'total mess', with Lottery scratch cards strewn about the flat and the carpets ruined after chocolate and dirt were trodden into them.
He added that light fittings had been removed and holes had been made in the floorboards. Mr Bryant said: 'It has not been left in a good state.
'It will probably take me about a month to get it back into shape. The neighbours have been getting hold of me, saying her living here is blighting their lives.
'She wouldn't communicate with me at all. I tried to get hold of her very early on to sort issues out but she just would not communicate.
'I took out a possession order. She has known for a while what was going to happen, but I still heard nothing.'
A neighbour, who didn't want to be named, said: 'The noise coming form her house was unbelievable.
'You never knew when it was going to be turned up full blast. She played all sorts, rap, hip hop, R&B and rave stuff - all of it super loud, making it impossible to get any sleep or concentrate on anything.'

Karl Bock, environmental health group manager at Crawley Borough Council, said: 'We're not in the business of stopping people from enjoying themselves but when it impacts on other people's lives on a regular basis then we have no option other than to take effective action to stop the disturbance.'
Last year Miss Crowhurst was caught growing drugs in the home she shares with her two children after a raid by police.
She admitted growing cannabis in the house telling Crawley Magistrates Court she resorted to cultivating it when she couldn't afford to pay for alcohol.
Police raided her home on August 4 and found 5.2g (0.18oz) of cannabis along with equipment for growing the plants.
Three weeks later she was again caught by officers with 1.2g (0.04oz) of the class B drug on her.
She told the court last September that she had been using cannabis since she was 16 and had received a caution from police for possession last year.
She was sentenced to a community order for nine months, told to pay £40 costs and enrolled on a drug rehabilitation course.
Just after giving birth to Alfie, now seven, she said: 'I know I was stupid to get pregnant but I'm not that bothered really.'
At the time of her first pregnancy, Miss Crowhurst and her eight brothers and sisters were living in two council houses knocked into a single six-bedroom property in Crawley.
Her mother, Rose, gave up her job as a dinner lady to look after her children.
