im really not sure what to do in this situation. my son got this girl pregnant (he is 13 she is 14). they came to me because they didnt know what to do and her parents would flip, and honestly, i dont know what to do. im not sure if i should tell her parents or help them with an abortion. i dont think it would be a good idea for either of them to be parents yet (id help them out obv).

im pretty pissed at my son because i thought i taught him better. these are alaska laws if any laws would apply in this situation. they just told me this like 2 hours ago and im pretty dumbfounded. she is staying the night with us and i didnt know what to say really. gettin deep in scotch right now because its the only thing that makes sense.

This is the point where you tell the girl's parents about things. If the situation was reversed...

Alaska has a parental notification law so even if you don't tell the girls parents, somebody will have to if she wants to get an abortion.

With regards to what's your play, explain to them she can't get an abortion without her parents knowing (unless she crosses the border), and that you're willing to call her parents and let them know if she would like your help, or you're willing to go with her and your son to tell her parents together. If the abortion idea is just yours and not hers, then, unless she runs away, her parents are going to find out if she keeps the child or puts it up for adoption, so the offers about helping her tell her parents should still be in play.

Edit: I believe if she's been abused by her parents she could go to court to get permission for an abortion without her parents being notified.
Quote:
The notification route

• A parent, guardian or legal custodian would be told about the abortion at least 48 hours ahead of time by the doctor who would perform the abortion or the doctor who referred the teen to the abortion provider. That could happen in person, by phone or, if the parent couldn't be reached by phone, by certified letter. In a phone call, the doctor would try to verify the parent or guardian's identity by asking questions.

•A doctor who performed a teen's abortion without a parent knowing could be charged with a felony.



Court option

• The teen would formally ask the court for an order allowing the abortion without the parent knowing.

• The teen would have to swear that: 1. She was sufficiently mature and well informed to make the decision herself; 2. a parent, guardian or custodian had physically, sexually or emotionally abused her; or 3. their consent was otherwise not in her best interest.

• A judge would have to hear the case within five business days and then rule immediately.
• If the court failed to act quickly enough, the teen could get the abortion without a court order or parent notification.

I'm guessing you aren't teaching as well as you think you are.

In any case, you straight up telling her parents would be bad. Better would be to strongly encourage them to do it, and offer to go with them. Tell them that someone needs to tell them, and if they won't do it then you will (maybe they'd prefer that, actually).

1. I would ask them if abortion is an option with them and with her parents. If them or her parent's aren't pro choice I would advice them look for a husband and wife looking to adopt. There is no way these kids should try to raise a baby at 14&15.

2. I would go with your son and his GF to her house to inform her parents that she is pregnant. Maybe you tell the parents (although just being there when they tell them may actually be better since its their responsibility). And tell them that the kids came to you first as she is scared ****less.

3. Explain to them that you asked the 2 of them if they, and you (her parents) would be against an abortion. They said Y/N. If they agree with abortion I would offer to pay it. Then make my son get a job to pay me back.

4. Take it from there. If her parents would be against it ask them if they are willing to help you and them find a couple looking to adopt.

5. If adoption is out of the question as well then the baby will most likely get raised by her parents since there is no way you could expect these 2 to be able to raise a baby by themselves, unless these kids are super responsible and just ****ed up this one time.

If she decided to keep the baby, would she be able to live with you and your son? Is your trailer single-wide or is it double-wide?

I think all the actual advice in this thread is pretty reasonable, except for one thing. You should not bring up abortion. If they (meaning she, really) brings it up than you can support that as a choice, but I feel like you bringing it up as an option will make a scared pregnant fourteen tear old girl pressured into making a choice that she is not comfortable with.

In fact, you should sit them down and ask them how they feel about it. Obviously, they need to tell her parents, and you should offer your support in helping them do that. Ask them what they think their options are, and which way they are leaning, and then answer any questions they have. This is a very delicate situation, especially for terrified teenagers, so try not to force your own agenda.

fyp.

and, the kids are probably scared ****less right now. i think you should sit them down and just let them know how much support they both have from you. and after that you obv you have to tell the parents. think about it if the roles were reversed, you would want to know.

Are her parents crazy christians who are against abortion? If so... well you're all ****ed. Obv tell her parents. Clearly abortion is the best option. Hope they are cool with that.

On the flip side, if they don't recognise abortion as an option (especially since OP mentions that they came to him first since girl's parents would flip) I would say it is pretty important to make them aware.

My sister is heavily pregnant atm, she was/is 17. It's a bad situation imo that I'm not going to go into, but one thing I have learned is that there's no way of confronting these things without being completely frank. This is inevitably going to take its toll on all parties involved; there's no way of protecting yourself, your son, or the young lady.

Pretty sure most teenage knocking up happens when parents are not around.
You got no point.
