[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless the boy's presence is actually HARMFUL to the baby (like he is abusive, an addict, etc.) he can go to court and get equal custody of the baby.    
The girl can't just "cut him out."

Most of the time the boy cuts himself out.  Some of the responses here are treating that as a benefit of being a #boymom - he can just cut and run; his life isn't ruined!  And once that happens, yes, it is pretty easy to keep his parents away from the baby.

Of course it's not mandatory that the story plays out like that, but it's what usually happens if you look around at the world.  And since we're starting from the premise that our kid (who we taught about safe sex and being responsible) is about to be a teen parent, I think it behooves us to look at the real world instead of arguing that things could be different for MY teen parent![/quote]

As a "boymom .. the benefit would be that he can continue college for the months she is likely on recovery from giving birth. Otherwise he is all in, it's not 1950 anymore and he will and should get 50/50 custody.

I speak from [b]experience with both boys and girls getting pregnant as a teen[/b]. None were 13. A few were 17, most 18 or 19 and it happened after they started college.

All are doing well, college educated and their kids have either college educations, going to college, masters degrees. [/quote]
You know boys who got pregnant as a teen?  :lol: 
Just kidding, I agree with your point, but that made me laugh.[/quote]
