Pregnant 12 year old threatens suit to carry to term despite parents wishes

14. I think the parents also need to inform the child of the health risks at that age as well...

And of course the parents can refuse to raise the child, but that would mean putting their daughter out of their home as well. A 12 year old even if only taking care of herself isn't in any shape to live independently a 12 year old with a baby definitely will need someone to look after her and the baby. So, this will be a foster care situation. Then it is likely the grandparents may not be able to know the whereabouts of their child and grand child. But, Idk about that if they voluntarily give their child up to foster care. In Minnesota they parents would be financially liable for the foster care if they give up their child voluntarily so, if they can't afford that they will be on the hook to take care of both their child and grandchild, which they might also not be able to afford. This situation IMO is much different than an older teen with a baby, not by a million miles, but it is different. In this instance there are a lot more issues to think about. But, ultimately it will be a decision the 12 year old will have to make.
