Can’t really say without knowing more, but as horrible as this is, I wonder if this outcome is better than the alternatives. The child would probably have had a deadbeat dad. It doesn’t sound like she would have been able to rely on much support from her parents. Plus, if not for the pregnancy, the girl might have ended up marrying that asshole, and been saddled with in-laws who have no respect for her.
It’s still a tragic situation, but at least now she’s wiser, and hopefully has a better chance at a decent life.
Oh. It’s definitely the better outcome. I’m glad they got the abortion. The boyfriend and mother are gross for pressuring her, using the “he’ll get in trouble” excuse. So, the mom was “okay” with what she assumed was statutory rape (per law, it wasn’t). And boyfriend was okay with taking lewd photos of 15y.o. girlfriend. Where was his mom and her parents during all of this? This is an entirely dangerous situation. I’m shocked that they didn’t get pregnant sooner.
Fun fact, apparently in Idaho it’s legal for a 15 and 17 yr old to date. But the second it turns into 15 and 18 it’s a crime. If she had turned 16 first then it would have been okay though.
Laws written like this should result in the writers being shot. Just a little though so they can learn from their mistake.
