You are exactly right. If it were my daughter I would do all I could to see that it never happened again, while helping her raise her child. If I were the boys parent I would do all I could to help with financial problems and see that my son took his responsibility as a father to heart. This has no business in a court.

My take on this is that the only way to protect yourself from state intrusion is to be completely financially self sufficient, and out of the public schools. ANY contact with government tentacles whether it be for health care, education, welfare, the town dog catcher, state trooper, can be hazardous to the well being of your family. We live in a society were we should fear the government, and there are people on this board that support government intervention in the name of law and order.

Adoption to a loving couple who wants a child is better than a 13 yo mom, no matter how much support from the family.
