The child could be put in "juvie" until they are 18, but there is also a chance that they will try him or her as an adult. A murder charge for an adult can carry a sentence of 25 years to life. * The youngest age in the U.S. at which a child can be tried as an adult is 14. Therefore the minor would be tried as a juvenile, under the juvenile laws of the state and in a juvenile court (without a jury). The imposition of sentencing is belongs completely to the presiding judge as outlined by state law and depends upon numerous factors, such as an investigation into the minor's background by social services, mental health evaluations and so forth.

If you have a kid as a teenager are your parents the ones who decide what to do?

If you are under the age of 18, your parents have control over you but do not have control over your child. They are not required to assist financially or care for the child. Parents cannot force abortion or have any input on what a teenage decides to do, it is completely their own choice. A court, legal document etc. can give the parents of the teenager who gave birth to the child authority and allow the grandparents to care for the baby. When things like this happen and neither one of the parents of the baby want to raise the child, this matter usually ends up in court. It is very complicated!
