How long will that take? You are saying send a 14 year old who is pregnant with a child off with her boyfriend to travel around. There are SO many things that could go wrong with that.

I agree with this. My sister and cousin went to run away when they were around 15ish, needlessly to say they didn't last very long.

A parent can only do so much. Even when you instill good moral values, shit still happens. You can only guide them, raise them the best you can but in the end they are the ones making the decisions when you're not around. You can only hope for the best while bracing yourself for the worst.

Why? It's completely OPs daughter's fault for having unsafe sex.. I'm pretty sure the mother wasn't in the background telling her it's ok she doesn't really need that condom

Damn #15, that's cold...considering that children do have their own minds and sometimes do whatever they want to do no matter what their parents say, and in most cases, are willing to suffer the consequences later. You're saying that you aren't saying it's her fault but she failed as a parent...that's confusing as hell because where I come from it sounds like you're saying it's her fault because she failed as a parent. How can it not be her fault in this case by your apparent negative judgement??? Makes no sense for you to say that.

In the words of Lenny from the cartoon movie "Shark Tales", "It's not ok to hit!!!!"

16- I agree that a big, serious talk needs to be had, but you can't force someone to have an abortion, even if they are young.

No way, OPs kid obviously wants to keep the child. Forcing her to have an abortion is only one way to create life long resentment. OP needs to support her daughters choices on keeping the child, but guiding her to make responsible life decisions along the way aka not dropping out of school

Yes!! If he can drive and wants to go on the road I want to know how old he is

It's statutory if the boyfriend is over 18. Which is possible, but not a given.

Actually the age of consent varies from state to state. Using Florida as an example, the age of consent is 18 but 16 & 17 yo can consent as long as it's with someone under the age of 23. And under the Romeo and Juliet law, 14 yo can consent as long as the person is no more than 4 years older. So if this happened in FL, it wouldn't be considered statutory rape.
