My niece just told her mom she was pregnant. Her mom replied: '; I know how to take care of that real quick'; and vowed to take her asap to have an abortion against her daughter's will. Is this legal?In Texas, can a parent force their 14 year old daughter to get an abortion?
No. It's not legal, because it's not her body. Unfortunately, it is 14 year olds decision on whether or not she wants to keep the pregnancy.In Texas, can a parent force their 14 year old daughter to get an abortion?
I think you should talk to her about what her reasons for wanting to have the child are. If they are stupid like she thinks she is going to marry the father and thats a big part of it well she shouldn't be having the kid because that fantasy is so far out there. Also how many months along is she. I believe if only 2 or 3 months she can just take the magic pills and presto no more bun in the oven but I haven't looked it up in a long time. Its going to be a hard decision either way. I like her thinking because its very positive and spiritual to a degree. I talked to a lady one time who had gotten an abortion and she said it took her years to realize that god loves her and forgives her. The child is 14 though so me personally I would not hold it against her. As others said its her body.
i think the mother have no right to force her daughter to go for an abortion cos they should find out who is the guy that got her daughter pregnant. sit down talk with the guy parents to see what they think if they want their son to take the responsiblity then ur aunt can not force ur niece to go abortion any more. if that guy parents want her to go for an abortion then it is really unfortunate for ur niece and the parents of that guy are being un human to a little life. what i think is to bring ur aunt and niece to go see a councillor and see what they could help ur niece.
No. All she'd need to do is tell the doctor that she didn't want to do this and he wouldn't. Then she needs to find a new place to live, because her mom will likely put her into foster care. Her mom can't force her to get an abortion, but she can't force her mom to support her baby.
I don't believe in ABORTION!!
she should keep the baby...
if she believes in GOD
boy i want to say no but parents rights over Minor and all not sure and even after whats the crime?

Can I drop out of high school at age 17 without parent approval?
I live in Florida. School is hell for me, and I hate every second of it. I'm not staying in school so don't try and change my mind.Can I drop out of high school at age 17 without parent approval?
There is no state in the union with compulsory education laws for minors of greater age than fifteen.
So, that means that you actually wound up staying in school at least a whole year longer than you had to.
But, don't take my word for it: simply walk into your high school office and tell the receptionist that you've decided to drop out, and that you are just there to turn your textbooks back in and obtain the final list of any fees or dues you still owe.
Expect them to tell you to go to class (it's how they get the money from their sponsors that gets them paid), and to threaten you with detention, but remain resolute and continue to inform them that the only direction you will be heading once you leave the office is off-campus.
Once they tell you that they're calling the police, is the sign that they recognize their own lack of authority to impose any kind of punishment upon you.
At that point, simply walk out.
Then, of course, I would strongly recommend you sign up at your local community college. College classes are OH SO MUCH less hellish than anything they force you into in high school. This is because NOBODY is forced to attend college, and they know that if they don't make classes worthwhile, they won't be able to keep students coming, which is how THEY earn their paychecks.
So, even though I am NOT trying to talk you out of staying in high school, I AM trying to encourage you into continuing your education. College is NOT the hell that high schools most definitely can become.
Get your GED, get an Associate's Degree, and earn some scholarships. You'll be grateful, when you do.Can I drop out of high school at age 17 without parent approval?

I always hated school, but my state's compulsory education law applied until I was 17 and by then I was already about a week into my senior year.
In Florida, compulsory education laws no longer apply at 16, with the exception of Manatee County, where the compulsory education laws cease to apply at 18 (source: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0112617.h鈥?/a> ).
If you're in your Senior year, you've only got a few months left, so it would not make much sense to drop out.
If you want to drop out, you should take the GED test, which is the equivalent of a diploma once you are able to do so. Alot of employers like to see a diploma or GED and having a GED leaves open the possibility to attend college later if you decide that you want to do so.
I'm very familiar with all the problems in the school system. I'm well aware that the schools tend to cause hatred of learning in, at the very least, a minority of students. I'm also aware of attending high school causing mental health problems. It is unfortunate that most of the country fails to pay attention to what is going on in the schools. The fact that you hate school and want to drop out is proof that the school is not doing its job properly.
Guess there will be one more welfare checking coming out of the gov't offices. Great choice kid.
nooo you can't even do it with parent approval jail time and some other stuff
Yes
you're gonna regret that decision A LOT in 5 years.
TRUST ME. I HATED school, and I still do, but I am EXTREMELY glad I finished it. That diploma makes sure I don't work at Wal Mart til I'm 50.
I think you can here in PA. Try it!
I'm feel sorry for you knowing everything at 17 you've only got one more year to go. Seriously think about this.
Are you planning on getting a GED soon after you drop out?
No one will hire you with out some kind of graduation or certificate. So the best you'll be able to do is flippin burgers or working at Walmart in some menial part time job.
Not much to look forward to and an awful lot to regret.
Oh and if MOM WILL LET YOU, you'll be living with her for a really long time too.
yes you can, whether you should or not is a different question. If you drop out of school you are almost certainly making the worst decision of your life, one that will effect everything you do in the future.
Sure, just stop going.
You have to check the laws for your state.
In Cali, I Think you need to be 18 to drop out.
However, I really dont encouraged since the old cliche proves true that education is your path to a better futre
I don't know I think u can.
um i am pretty sure you can.
i am a senior right now i have 5 months of school left.
i mean i personally hate school, i hate teachers, i hate knowing that everything i do is based on how good the person before me did because it all only matters about grades. and everyone telling you that dropping out is a bad idea, **** em.
get your GED, you must, this is true. but honestly a GED and a high school diploma are no different, the only true difference is that most people who get there GED don't give a **** anymore and dont try hard afterwords.
if u stick with what u want to do u can,
go get into a community college and advance in your life.
but it is how much u want it. do what feels right to you.
p.s. i am getting my GED

Should the state be able to remove a child from a parent because the child is severely obese?
There is a child that goes to the preschool that I work at. He is 6 yrs old and is very obese. Anytime he says he is hungry (she is the preschool's cook) she tries to get him more food. Not healthy food...food like McDonalds and other unhealthy foods.Should the state be able to remove a child from a parent because the child is severely obese?

I'm a single parent of 2 special needs adults. How can I make more money to make ends meet each month?
I make $27800 at my job a year %26amp; my children's SSI payments are $18109 a year. Right now with all my bills, I'm barely making ends meet. My credit is terrible from a past bankrupcy, I need help now so I don't have to sell my home. I'm really at my wits end.I'm a single parent of 2 special needs adults. How can I make more money to make ends meet each month?
There are many ways to work with BeautiControl. They train you to have Spa parties in which you can customize skincare the guests, sell spa/body products and cosmetics. They also train you to determine peoples ';seasons'; and which colors are best for them both in wardrobe and cosmetics, with make-up application techniques. Another route is being Bridal consultant, they supply everything you need to help brides with there big day, regarding dress type, hair style %26amp; veil choice, skincare, make-up and relaxation techniques. Another option is going in to businesses and having mini stress breaks.
I have hosted parties at my house, gone to peoples houses and hosted parties for them, gone into businesses for the stress breaks and now I use the products with my massage clients. The products are wonderful and they sell themselves.
I am pretty new to BC, but so far I love it. I joined for the skincare because I had heard wonderful things about it, and because to remain a consultant and receive the discount on the skincare you just have to place a $100 retail order every 3 months. (minus discount). Now I am building a business for myself, so I can stay at home with my little girl, she is one month old.
BC supplies everything to start your own business. All for $99, what an opportunity!
It's usually $250 to join and receive over $500 in products but this month it's $99!

Hi. I'm earning money online in 2 ways: 1st is reading emails for moner, 2nd is online surveys. If you want to read emails, here's the link:
http://free-kingdom.com/pages/index.php?鈥?/a>
If you want to do surveys I have best ones in my blog here:
http://www.google.com/base/a/1639261/D93鈥?/a>
Buy fluorescent bulbs for all the rooms in your house and buy a 2002 Toyota Prius or a 2002 Honda Insight. (You will save thousands of dollars in gasoline each year)
Do you have to be home at all times? My hubby and I did two local paper routes for a while, we were gone just over two hours every morning, and made $63 a day. It wasn't very fun, and it got old having to get up every single day no matter what, but it was a ton of extra money for us %26amp; was a job that my husband could do before he went to work, and that allowed us to stay home with our daughter- if your main job isn't early in the morning, maybe you could fit something like that in...
You might be able to obtain some help from your local family and children services. It is usually listed as a county department or agency. If they are unable to help you they probably know where you could attain some assistance.
Increasing your income could really help. Selling stuff (like a car, house, sofa, whatever), another job or some overtime is a good short-term solution assuming that the spending is in order.
$27k might hurt now but you should think about what you want to be earning in 5 years. You don鈥檛 want to be in the same situation income-wise. You can find a way to kick up that incomer over 5 years. You have been though a bankruptcy once and are feeling the pinch again; you have to get out of that cycle.

What would you do if you were a parent and saw your kids (boy and girl both 18) making out and fooling around?
And both were yours by blood not step kids. What would you do? how would you react?What would you do if you were a parent and saw your kids (boy and girl both 18) making out and fooling around?
I suppose I would confront them while they were doing it and just stand there. I would let them do the talking. Silence is sometimes better then words. And really what can you say to that other then ';this is wrong';.What would you do if you were a parent and saw your kids (boy and girl both 18) making out and fooling around?
Well... First even of they are 18 they are in your house and they should obey ur rules. If they are not willing to obey them them strip them of the privileges u offer them. BUT first have the talk with them and re-establish the rules. Make sure they understand what u expect of them. What u will not have in your house, and what will follow if they do it again. This is also a good time to talk about safe sex, and put ur daughter on birth control EVEN if she says she is not having sex. Tell her it makes her periods smoother and will give her better skin. Because too many kids are getting pregnant. I was 20 when I got prgnant and now I wish my mom forced me on the pill in a sneaky way.lol Now im 25 and see too many of my friends not taking it because they say they will get fat, and guess what... got pregnant.But thats the only full proof way. Anyway.. Its just important to talk with ur kids and show them that that they are disrespecting your house. Also never keep them unsupervised. No boyfriend or girlfriend in the room, and they can only hang out in common areas. No matter hold old they are still children and mom and dad are still providing for them. They would be lost in the big bad world alone, and they need u to stay tough too. Good luck. BTW I have a 16 year old sister so I know what ur going through and I was there with my parents not to long ago. So this is my perspective on it.
Cry.
Shout at them.
Probably end up hitting them.
Throw them the fcuk out my house.
Not talk to them for a long long time.
Cry some more.
That would disgust me, i don't know how i'll react because i would be so mad and i might hurt them so much or separate them for good.
I would be so disgusted and i would of Fu(ked them both up!
