Putting the ethical and moral issues aside, the reality is a minor cannot take custody of any person's child, regardless of the circumstances. Even an adult cannot legally take custody of a child without following the proper procedures. Who receives custody of an infant in such a situation is decided by a judge not the mother. It is preferable that said infant be placed with a family member who qualifies under DSS regulations. If that is not possible the infant will be made a ward of the state and placed in a foster home. I Don't think that they should!! How exactly would they be supporting the child that they have taken in and what would they do with the expense's of the child that the took in like the the daycare, diapers, milk and clothes, shoes and ther need that the baby would have.
The detail indicating the baby was born in jail was the fact that the mother gave birth in a prison cell.
Its incest and the mother should go to jail.
Definateley!
They would likely first try to place the baby with a member of the mother's family, or a foster home.
You should try.....
No she didn't they had very few laws back then but she should have
Yes. Well most of the time she can but sometimes she cant it depends why she went to jail
Yes, Pearl in The Scarlet Letter was born in jail. Her mother, Hester Prynne, gave birth to her while serving time for committing adultery. Pearl's birth serves as a constant reminder of her mother's sin throughout the novel.
In jail
Only a judge can send you to jail. Your girlfriend's mother can only request the police to evaluate the situation.
No he is a minor just like that baby will be. That boys mother has all control of him. If he got arrested he cant go to jail because he is a minor. Its his choice not to take care of it. The person who gave this answer is an idiot and I'm surprised they can even work a computer. 16 year olds go to jail all the time and yes if they have a child they can be made to pay child support.
no, but his mother was pregnant with him while she was in jail, she was released before he was born though
