"It's her right to kick her teenage daughter out" - I think I found the answer for ALL states
I saw this statement in the teen pregnancy post and I have heard and seen it many times before.
I don't understand how a parent can kick their child out if they are under 18... I don't see how that is legal and I sure as heck don't see how it makes you a 'good' parent.
Is it legal to kick a minor to the streets?
Edit: I wanted to add that in a google search, everything I find says that in America, until the age of 18... regardless of pregnancy the minor is still a minor which I think would mean the parents could get in trouble for kicking him/her out. I do know that if they kick the minor out they can turn around and report it as a run away and get the kid in trouble.

According to that chart, pregnancy does NOT automatically emmancipate a minor... so for those of you who claim you've done it, I believe you could have legally gotten in trouble for abandonment/neglect. This clearly isn't the actual law sheet... but either way... I really do think its illegal.

My dad never kicked me out and it never made sense to me how others could legally do it because I thought it was a parent's job to provide the minimums for their child until the age of 18.

I had DD when I was 17 and the doctor and hospital said I had to sign everything as an adult would not a minor
As for kicking the teen out of the home Idk

that's wrong...it's just to the insurance companies....it's nationwide.
my mom had to sign everything, i signed, and then she had to sign.
I had a cousin who thought she was legally emancipated from her parents because the hospital told her that. My aunt went straight to the ADA to find out the truth and almost sued the hospital because a pregnant minor is ONLY medically emancipated, meaning their parent can't make decisions regarding their pregnancy. Idk if that varies with state. I don't think so.

I do know a little girl I had babysat growing up had a kid at 14 and her parents kicked her out she now lives with the baby daddy but Idk how that works...... I don't talk to them anymore
Yeah, I think so. It may not be a good thing, but it's legal I think. Also, we don't know what has happened in the past ot yje whole situation.

I believe that having a child makes one independent from their parent... I could be mistaken though
Do you ever get hit on even looking a mess?
Why inflict this silly cosmetic pain on a baby!?!
