My 21 year old daughter who lives at home became pregnant. The father is now gone and she says she doesn't know how to reach him. We believe that she is afraid because she has been threatened by his friends. What should she do?

Contact law enforcement. If she has been threatened by his friends, she can seek a no-abuse order. As for the father, she can't make him have a relationship with his child, but she CAN get DOR involved, and collect support financially. I wish you and your daughter well, this sounds like a tough situation to be in.

The key word here is SHE. She is 21 and needs to make the decisions since she got herself into this. I would hope she knows enough about the father to decide what is best.

Just stay away from them if he wanted to be apart of the babys life he wouldnt have split. a man isnt worth any threats nomatter how big or small . Teach her how to be a strong woman to stand on her own and be there for her and your grandchild and enjoy it

She should close that door and focus on her child. Sounds like you will support her empotionally. Let the chips fall where they may now.

Why would the friends of your daughter's bf threaten her? There is no relationship between them here. Best thing is to fight for child support. She should try to see how to get hold of him. If he wants nothing to do with her and the baby, then she can always sue him for child support. Most importantly, she should get in focus of her life now as she is going to have a baby at such a young age even if she is no longer a minor, but still 21 is young to be a single mom. She should start thinking of how to support the baby in the coming years.
