I'm 19 yrs. old and my 16 yr old girlfriend is 3 mo. pregnant. Statutory rape charges are not a concern of mine since I had her school social worker check on it. I was told that since our ages are close and it was consentual that it would be reported but I wouldnt be arrested. Now to my actual point. We just told her parents about this. Her mom has completely lost it. She hates the world, wont be in the same house as my girlfriend, and has taken to drinking. Her father took it fairly well at first. When he saw what it was doing to her mother he started getting mad at my girlfriend. They want to force her to get an abortion. We will NOT have an abortion. I realize that they can't force her to get an abortion but this is tearing my girlfriend apart emotionally. There is a chance that they may try to send her out to New York to live with her brother. This obviously is unacceptable to us because we want to be together to raise our child. There is a reported (to her school social worker) history of physical abuse in her past. She has a great job making good money, going to school, and would have a place to live. What are the chances of her being emancipated based on them trying to seperate father and child, the abuse, and her current financial situation? Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
