well i think cos she is 17 her parents cant force her to do anything. but because it is in America they probably can.
AnswerAlthough a 17 years old is not considered to be the legal age of majority, which in CA. is 18, that does not exclude her from executing her rights pertaining to her child. Some of those include, full custody (until/unless challenged by the biological father), the right to consent to any medical or health services, the right to partake in any religious ceremony (such as a christening) and so forth.The minor's parents cannot force her to have an abortion, place the child for adoption or relinquish her parental rights. If the mother finds herself in need of public aid (such as medicaid, WWIC, housing, etc); she can with the help of state social services, petition the court for emancipation status in order to receive aforementioned assistance.Wiki User
