My 15 yr old is pregnant too and I was told cos would be notified but since my daughter told her obgyn that the dad was her age I haven’t felt with them yet and she said that was weird because she’s 15 they want to make sure she wasn’t raped or molested. Unless they are waiting to pop up once the baby is born

My daughter also was pregnant at age 14 and a half.they never came into our life’s.at all.so that was in Ohio.if they do it will be to find out if she was raped or willing.
i got pregnant with my daughter at 15 had her at 16 and didnt have any problems
Only was CPS would get involved was if child say she was raped and she name that person.
I got pregnant at 15, DHS was not involved at all. Maybe is the state that you live in?
I had my daughter at 15 and DSS did not get involved. This was 21 years ago though
I got pregnant with my first child at 15. No dhs involvement. Of course,that was 14 years ago…

i was gonna say just that lol! now u have to notify
Yes dhs will get involved only cause of her age. But if a parent is involved then you will have no problem.
Nothing they can do unless it was incest
i deal w these calls every day…so here’s what i know, she has to report it, cps will get involved just to make sure it wasnt rape, or w an adult, etc…they will b involved till shes 18 unless she emanicipates. all docs appt must b kept, and mom is responsible for daughter n baby…not sure there whats d legal age to consent to sex or for the parent to consent for child to marry under age w adult. the’yll pretty much offer her tons of support resources and leave her alone unless there is a problem or the docs appt are not kept etc…

Depends on your state and consent laws/ages. I really doubt though anything would happen unless she is positive for illegal drugs.

The nurse doesn’t have to report that. However if she suspects the pregnancy was a result of sexual abuse, she must.

I was pregnant at 15, had my daughter at 16. And my family was not obligated to notify DHS/CPS. That sounds odd to me. Was never involved with the state in that way ever through out my pregnancy except for help with WIC.

They just want to monitor and make sure shes receiving the care she needs. And help educate her. In my opinion they have no right to get involved unless shes on drugs or living on the streets. Or has history with the police. If her initial bloodwork shows drug use they will get involved.

I have never heard of this. Investigate it more. Unless the father of the baby is an adult or she told them she was raped.

Not sure where you’re located but that may be part of the reason the doctors office had to notify them. I had my daughter at 15. No involvement by children’s services at all. I’m the hospital during delivery I was asked multiple times by various staff members if I was safe, if I felt threatened, if I had consented to the relationship that led to me being pregnant. Pretty much any time I was alone someone asked. .which I don’t see as a bad thing.

I got pregnant with my son at 15 over 10 years ago and had him at 16. Never once did anybody even mention the term CPS. It could just be the laws in your state. I’m from Virginia. But good luck with all the amazing times that is to come with having a new baby in the family! Having a baby so young is extremely challenging but it won’t stop your daughter from following her dreams. Congrats grandma!

Depending on the state you live in, she is under the age of consent, so it is possible.

I got pregnant at 15 in Indiana. Dcs called everyone (my mom, me, the dad, and his parents) for a meeting basically to make sure I wasn’t raped. They acted like they were going to pursue neglect charges for my mom because apparently you’re supposed to look at you children 27 hours a day for ever even when you have to work 3 jobs to make ends meet. Nothing ever came of it though

They’re not going to take the baby unless there’s a reason to do so, don’t freak out. They’ll ask some questions, mainly about consent, feeling safe at home, etc. They’ll ask if she needs any help and likely offer services such as food stamps, child care, and birthing/parenting classes.

It’s a common thing when a minor is pregnant. They want to make sure she wasn’t raped and there is no neglect in the home since she is so young, and want to make sure the father isn’t over 18. Also everyone saying they didn’t report it to cps, duhhh. The office/hospital does. I worked in an OB office and we reported all teenage pregnancy’s. I live in Indiana.
4 Likes
At our office we notify in case the teenager is being mistreated by her parents because of the pregnancy, to make sure the teenager isn’t hurting herself in any way (to cause a miscarriage or such, due to depression, etc) or because it may have been the result of statutory rape.

Once they establish that she isnt pregnant due to: incest, rape, sex trafficking…etc. They will close the case. There were so many cases where hospitals/clinics failed young girls who were victims. Don’t think it is mandatory in every state yet.

They will get involved if they suspect whoever got her pregnant was older or if she became pregnant from sexual abuse. Not saying that’s the case, I’m just answering the question.
I knew someone whose 13 year old daughter went to go spend the summer with her dad and came back pregnant. Because of her age, the hospital had to report it DHS. Policy. They made a few visits,interviewed her and some family. Then they backed off. I think really they just want to make sure that there’s no abuse or incest or anything nasty going on.

I can assure you the only reason they will stay on your case is if they find evidence she was abused at home. If it was a dumb boy from school you will be cleared and the case will be closed. It happens, kids can be sneaky.
I think it possibly could be to make sure she isn’t pregnant by incest and or rape. If she isn’t on drugs and has family support and a safe environment they will back off after doing initial checks or possible just after bub is born and doing well

I think it also depends on the fathers age I think they want to know that
The case will be focused around the dad and your daughter to be sure it was consensual and she is safe once they see that they will leave you guys alone. Just cooperate itll be over fast. Super inconvenient especially right after finding out your daughter is pregnant… sorry you are dealing with so much!! Stay strong. You’ve got this!

I was 12 and got pregnant no one ever got involved even my doctor wanted to call until he heard it was consensual.
I got pregnant at 15 and they didn’t get involved…
they will inform as the child is under the legal age of consent as can be classed at statutory rape or rape.
I actually have heard of this. There was actually a case in our town where I live that the daughter was 16 and her boyfriend was 19 + with parental approvement live in their home. The boyfriend and girlfriend were engaged but the school contacted CPS and the state actually brought charges against the boyfriend for him being over age. He has to register as a sex offender

I got pregnant when I was 14… Never had anything involved with CPS. I’m about to be 22 now with 3 kids.
Tbh all you gotta do is tell them it’s none of there business.
We can get involved if the child is under the statutory age so at 15 it must be reported as a neglect case against the parent, usually does not get opened to an active case unless there are other issues

They might look into just to make sure it wasn’t the result of rape it what they did for me (mine was due to rape). After they determine if it was or not then they leave you alone.

Must get reported do to age. Just incase the child was sexually assaulted most times they just close the case if nothing is founded.
