Pregnant teen needs help!

I wish I could contribute more than what has been already said, but most of the logic has been stated. I do want to say, I'm really sorry to hear about you and your cousin's situation. No matter what good or bad can come out of it, it's just heart breaking to know this happened, it happens, and will continue to happen.

My first reaction would be to talk to legal authorities about the matter. After reading on, I have come to realize something. If your aunt really does have her life together, I think the aunt should raise the child, and let the mother and father spend time with the child.

I really don't agree compeletly with the total separation of parents and children, even if the parents are unfit. If the child doesn't know who their parents are, they will usually spend a good amount of time trying to find out, and will do what they have to get to know them as much as possible. On the flip side, one of my ex-clients killed his ex-wife for keeping his children away from him. I don't agree with what he did, but the bond between a parent and child, no matter how neglegent and abusive they may be to each other, can be unbelieveably strong sometimes.

Good luck to you, and your family.

It isn't the mother or aunt that has the biggest problem. It's the child. The mother can have another child with a better plan, but the current child only has one life to live. You just can't write off a child.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
