We're both underage so how am I a child molester?!
2007-11-04 07:06:32 · update #1
No, but if they're underage they can probably take you to court for child molestation
UPDATE: So you want a kid to pay for your decision to have a kid?. You can mark me thumbs down all you want, but you really need to start taking responsibility for your decisions.

If your old enough to lay down and make that baby then your old enough to be responsible for it. I am not sure but I no in Michigan parents are responsible for there children's actions until they 18. Personally you are now a parent and need to step and be the best one you can be and hopefully you now no to use protection in the future. Besides child support isn't a debt it is to help take care of a life you helped bring into this world.

They can still get a job and pay something. There are part time jobs out there for ages 15 and up. Mc Donald's will hire at 15. The one I work at hired a girl when she was about 4 months along and she is 15. No reason the dad can't work after school. If my son was to get someone pregnant when he was older I would make him get a job and support his baby.

Yes if someone under 18 gets a girl pregnant they have to pay child support. Or their parents do if the kid won't take responsibility for his actions.

I am not sure- but in my state (PA) I know Children & Youth get involved and consider it Child Abuse when the mother is 14. It can become a messy deal for everyone (both sets of grandparents) I did some reasearch & will refer a page to look up your state- Good chance if the father is just a high school student you can't. I am not a lawyer.

You can sue them for child support in some states, in other states you have to sue their parents (because they are a minor).

yes, but i think the parents of the minor would be held responsible until they turn 18, but of course you can, the child still needs things no matter how old the dad is

I don't know the legal answer, but I think if you're old enough to make a baby you are old enough to pay support.
