I don't think you should file charges just to be spiteful. Are you talking about statutory rape charges or what kind of charges do you mean? I don't think you could charge him with anything considering they are both under age and it is only a year difference in age. I was 16 when I got pregnant and the father was 20 and there were no consequences and it was brought to the court's attention (although no formal charges were filed) I would say just support your daughter as best as you can. She will eventually learn that he is not interested, and she will quit calling him. If he doesn't want to be around, there's no point in trying to force him. I hope everything turns out for the best in this situation, and hopefully he will want to be involved with his child. Good luck!

i do no longer think you could record quotes because of fact he's 17 and not yet a criminal grownup and sixteen is the age of consent in maximum states. you won't be in a position to tension this boy to be a father or be consisting of your daughter. You the two could desire to concentration on the newborn which would be here in a pair of months and only assume the daddy won't choose lots to do together with his new child. regrettably your daughter have been given pregnant and the boy is only, that a boy and boy's seem to mature lots slower then females. Do get suggestion from a lawyer on what to do for new child help and if the daddy does choose to make certain the newborn the will arises to communicate that still. the daddy could come around and choose to be interior the infants existence yet he will possibly no longer.

You don't have any legal grounds to file statutory rape charges, but definately file for child support. As for him being "mean" do you really expect any different? He's a kid and he's scared so he's trying to run away from his responsibility. Did you expect him to marry your daughter and start a family? It's just not going to happen...they destroyed their chances of any kind of future relationship by making such an immature decision.
I suggest you be as friendly to his parents as you possibly can, and please don't punish these people for their son's unfortunate choices. They seem to want to do their part, and be good grandparents, so make sure they have the opportunity. They aren't going to be able to "make" him be responsible, particularly once he turns 18, so I would really try to convince your daughter to find an adoptive family. The child would be better off with more financially secure, emotionally mature people. Your daughter is too young to have the responsiblity of a child on her hands...in doing so she is ruining her chances of a college education and a good career. Perhaps you and the other grandparents can persuade her to find an adoptive family...it's not like it used to be, many families welcome the birthmother to have contact with the child, and she can choose the family herself.
Whatever you do decide, help your daughter to make a future that will bring happiness and provide financially for her and the child.

I don't understand your question. What charges would you be filing against the 17 year old?
If it's for statutory rape, then I say no. There wasn't that big of an age difference (one year?!) so your daughter is as much to blame as the boy is.
If being an asswipe was a crime, then you should file charges for him against that, but unfortunately...

Of course you should file charges. More importantly, get your daughter into counseling to figure out why she's punishing herself and running her life off into the ditch. Here's a site:
