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 suggestion given that the baby was born in jail is that the baby is surprised by the sunlight. It is as if the baby had never seen the sun before.
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
In the Scarlet Letter, it is suggested that the baby, Pearl, was born in the prison because when Hester Pryne walks out of the jail to stand before the town for an hour with the scarlet letter on her breast, she was carrying the baby.
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
