My daughter just told me that her friend who is 13 told her about her brother's girlfriend being pregnant. The 16 yr old soon to be parents decided that the girl would raise the baby on her own. Therefore, not telling the parents. She is only 2 months pregnant right now, so her parents will know soon enough. I have know the mother of the soon to be father for 12 years. I don't know what to do.

i would take the soon to be grandmother out for a special day... eat, movie, feel good things.... then sit her down and tell her as gently as you can that you have heard *rumurs*... tell her what you have heard, leaving out who from, and just be there for her..... yes she needs to know.... I found out about my grand daughter when she was 3 months old, I cried for days because I missed so much.... it will be hard and upsetting, but she has the right to be involved as much or as little as she feels she needs to be, and the father to be should stand up and take responibility for his child... money and love and care...... shame on the *to bes* for even thinking about leaving the grands out of the pic. , and shame on that young man for agreeing to do this.... they are young , but that baby deserves to have all the love it deserves from all involved......... God bless

Being as you have been friends with the mother for 12 years, I would sit down with her and have a conversation similar to this. Friend, You know how kids and rumors are, but it is my understanding that your son might be the father of a baby. That you are concerned and thought she might want to know. Conversation should fall into place right after that......... good or bad. By stating that it could be a rumor, you are not saying that it is a fact, just a possiblity, and the rest and how she handles it is up to her.
Keeping in mind the potential mother is only 13 and possibly two months pregnant, time is of an issue and an essence, and her medical care to important to delay.

Well, in my opinion, these kids are just that--kids. Their parents are still responsible for them so, yes, both sets of parents need to know. The boy's parents are going to be grandparents of the child, after all.
If you don't want to run right over there and announce this you could wait awhile and see if the kids show some maturity (fat chance) and tell both their parents. If they do not, then I would tell his parents myself.
Also, this is pretty much here-say and might not even be true so it would be best to wait to see what "develops". You could, potentially, create enemies if you tell them that their son got someone pregnant and it wasn't true.

This depends on if they are normal folk or not.
Normal people - hell yeah you should tell them
Dysfunctional, abusive, crazy folk - maybe not the best idea and you don't want to be in the middle of it

nope, let them grow up. life works better that way if you let people find their own way, its actually a good thing to have the Patience to see them grow and if they ask for help to just let them know what you think. but people just need to make their own lives.

Don't say anything. Let these 2 families work it out.

I would tell. This is not about ratting out a kid for breaking curfew.
