How old is your daughters b/f or father of her unborn? I dont think they could do anything if you guys dont give his information as long as she states it was consensual, but idk.
I got preg and delivered at 14. No one was called on us, only reason they would have was if the dad was 16 and older.

My guess is that it may be because she is under the legal age of consent in their home state

I got pregnant at 15, and none of that ever came up
Depending on the state, they can get involved.
One of my old friends for pregnant at 14 had her baby at 15.
Nobody was called or nothing.
I was pregnant at 16, I didnât have DSR, or as we call DCS.
Well whatâs the rest of the info here!? Did they ask who the father was or if she was raped? Is she special needs? If she is - I totally see CPS being called. Drugs in your house? Honestly if you gave off a red flag there might be a reason to suspect. Itâs hard to say because you havenât given but 50% of the information. PLUS, if nothing is fishy then why are you worried? As a medical employee & Iâve worked with pediatric patients, it was my responsibility to report families that seemed off or gave off a suspicion.

I know my daughter will be on birth control by 13
So that doesnt happen.
Better safe then sorry. I was a teen mom and although I dont regret my kids at all, I wish I would hv waited. My job as a parent is to make sure they dont make the same choices I did. I dont want them to struggle. And some of yall be having kids at 13,14,15 WHOA⊠You cant even work, or drive⊠how tf you gonna take care of a baby! Educate ur children ppl! I know teenagers dont listen⊠but damn I thought having a baby at 18 was hard⊠cant imagine any younger.
As far as OP. If CPS is involved⊠atleast rhey are making sure ur daughter wasnt raped. I dont think they can do anything else unless father is way olderâŠ
And then in that case you need to re-evaluate ur parenting.

Depends on stateâŠ
I got pregnant at 15. Dad was 18. We never had to report it. Nobody got involved. This was in VA though. Not sure where you are or what laws apply there though.
Iâm more concerned that youâre putting YOUR daughterâs business out in the public. She is her own person - are you allowing her to make the choices necessary for HER future?? Including an abortion, if thatâs what SHE wants?? Obviously, she didnât feel comfortable asking to get birth controlâŠ

My daughter was 15 when she had her first child. DHS did not get involved this was Florida
As long as your house is clean and u got 3 days worth of food they ainât nothing to worry about
Im in illinois and I was not only pregnant at 15 my mom signed for me to get marriedâŠthis is some stuff that I have never heard of.
Here in new York in order to have legal sexyiu have to be 18 and even if it was consensual they can still say it was rape because anyone 17 and under do not have concent
I live in California and had my son at 16 and none of that happened to me but that was 13 years ago so it could have changed.
I know of a 14 year old that had a child and CPS took the baby after it was born, the grandparents had to step in and fight to get the child back

I had my son at 15, dhs called and checked up on me whilst pregnant but they never opened a case and got involved like that in our life!
No there is no need for cps. They wont get out of your life
That nurse was just thinking sheâs being helpful when in all honesty, no. Cps and dhr shouldnât be called unless the teenager is an obvious drug addict or something of the sort. Iâve had so many friends when I was younger get pregnant and never have to deal with anything of the sort. But I also canât say itâs the same for every state or county.
They are just making sure she wasnât raped or anything like that since she is underage. Iâve heard of a few people who had to go through this and it took about a month since they cooperated with them & was consensual. Speaking from being in Kansas.

I had my son at 16 they sent a nurse to check his vitals and length and weight in my home and I never saw or heard from them again this is in PA 5 years ago. As long as your gas works, you have electric, the waters on and thereâs food in the fridge and obviously a clean house they typically leave you alone however I donât think youâll have much to worry about. Especially if they see you are giving her a good support system

I was 14 when I got pregnant and 15 when I had my sonâŠnot once was cps in my business and total violation of HIPPA in my opinion. Itâs no one else business unless she says that they can release that information.
Itâs probably to make sure she isnt being forced into any decisions she doesnât actually want.
I had my son at 13 and they never said anything like that to us or cps or anything like that. This was in California 12 years ago. Good luck and be there for her as much as you can.
I was under the impression they only report if they feel abuse/rape was involved

Yes unfortunately they do this because sheâs a minor and they could even arrest whomever got her pregnant if they are 18+. Considered child abuse. I think it may vary from state to state though. They have to be sure sheâs not being forced into anything.

Every stateaw is different plus I know a lot of laws have changed since my pregnancy 15 years ago. Iâm assuming whatever state you live in that because she is under 17 or 18 they just will do an interview to make sure it wasnât a bit older than 18 and that she wasnât raped and then just offer resources on what options she has. If this is a law in your state itâs not a bad thing to be worried about. I think it is a good law to make sure young pregnancies didnât start from a crime. Your best bet is to Google the actual laws by your state

Yes I was pregnant at 16 they came and talked to me and asked who the father was and asked about the whole situation and due to me being young at the time they put him on child support
I think itâs because under 17 they are considered old enough to consent to sex so they have to look into everything and give her options and advice
I new a family that had a daughter that got pregnant at 15. CPS was involved for over a year. I guess it would depend on circumstances. I wouldnât worry so much about cps as much as how ur daughter is doing/feeling. I have no idea what they will do or make u do but I wish u all luck. I hope her pregnancy is safe and easy for her.
Never heard of them having to report to dhr/cps sounds weird. My brother had his 1st at 15 also his girlfriend was 16 they never had to report anything.
Most states the age of consent is 16. Iâm assuming that is why unless abuse is suspected.
I was pregnant at 15 and we never had that issue
Doesnât make sense. Maybe a state law???
Well, this thread is full of babies having babies.

Got pregnant at 14 had him at 15, I was pregnant in 7th grade a random dude pulled me out of class and was asking allot of questions I eventually cussed him out and told him Iâm not saying shit cause when I asked if my mom knew he was here he said no so I didnât say a word. Eventually we went to the cps office and they sat me and my mom down. She knew I was seeing a boy but had no clue I was having sex. So I told the cps I lied to my mom all the time said I was staying at a friends house and was actually running off to stay with my baby daddy. Main thing they wanna know. Was you allowing your kid to spend the night with her boyfriend or kids father for this to happen. I lied said no she had no clue. They dropped everything never had a problem sense and my son is now 6 years old.

I was a minor and had no issues my bf was also 5yrs old then me. He signed the birth certificate and was at the hospital with me my entire stay. Seems odd to meâŠ
My friend had to deal with the same thing as she got pregnant at 15. Itâs mostly because she was already a foster child and they mostly just wanna make sure there is no abuse. That and to make sure the person who got her pregnant isnt way older than her because the age of consent is 16.
I know it all varies state to state but here in Georgia they had to notify DEFC when the baby was born cause my ex husbands niece was only 14 but they dont really do anything but come in make sure the baby can be cared for talked to her and my sister in law and they made sure shes wasnt pushed into anything and make sure nothing bad was happening and that she had plenty of help with the baby and stuff and that was it never heard anything else from them after the one trip out to the house and talked to a few of us and they offered her parenting classes and all kinds of help so for us here it wasnt a bad experience but i cant really speak for other states and people but thatâs what we whent through with her so I would say nothing to panic about
In some states if she draws aid or if the baby is born using any aid, her parents will have to repay all the aid and medical costs. She is a minor, so they make the parents financially responsible.

You should also have a talk with your daughter on what happened. Any doctor or nurse can call CPS if they suspect something happened more than consensual sex, or just because sheâs a minor they could consider this neglect. DHS almost always gets involved because of medical insurance and etc. Not so suprised like some of these folks seem to be. Like I said I hope for the best for your daughter.

I had a baby at 14. My first son who is now almost 5. Normally CPS/DCF does get called simply because itâs a minor having a baby, but that doesnât mean that they will open a case or anything just means that they try to help with support and educating the minor, having a child.

CPS only gets involved if they suspect neglect, abuse, or rape. Something must have gave them a red flag. They will want to talk to & interview your daughter in private. Hopefully they will find nothing .
Not if you supply the safe environment for her and she doesnât do anything for them too feel the need too be involves.
I had my first son at 15. Heâs now 9, Iâm 25. No regrets what so ever. But I also had a lot of support and I kept too the right path with parenting.

I was 16 when I got pregnant & 17 when my son was born & the only reason anyone got involved is because my mother decided to call the hospital & tell them she was scared my sons father would smother him because she was mad I wanted him to stay at the hospital with me instead of her the first night. Granted, this was 8 years ago, but still. Maybe wherever you are is different, or they report to rule out incest(which is a valid concern for far too many pregnant teens Iâm sure, unfortunately) but as long as everything is good you have nothing to worry about.

Medical workers are mandatory reporters. As long as she wasnât being raped, abused, or neglected youâll be fine. Also they need to determine whether her residence is suitable for a baby
They probably want to check to see if there are signs of abuse. Stay strong and love on your baby girl!

I honestly thought The only reason they confront was for abuse so if she was with someone much older than her on the lines of that but they wouldnât know of course unless something was said so was something said ? If not I feel like itâs just nosy without probable cause but if you get a chance ask them maybe you can ask her doctor or a professional about it because even girls younger like 13 dhs and cps arenât involved unless abuse is reported

Actually it all depends on your state. Doctors are mandated reporters. It doesnât mean they will be involved. You have no clue how many calls and reports and complaints come in that get put to the back or just dismissed.
I had my son at 17, last year. This never happened. You will most likely have custody over her child if she chooses to have it- but Iâve never heard of cps getting involved.
They canât really do anything until the baby has a social security number, and is born. They will probably investigate when baby is born. Make sure she has everything for the baby, your house is clean, food in the fridge, formula if baby isnt breast fed. Relax, and you donât have to let them in your house at all. They are not the police so they cant put any charges on you or her. Legally they canât even investigate.

They are going to make sure it is not incest or rape
Best for you to contact your local Department of social services and child welfare to establish what the true circumstances are. Instead of guessing and getting anxiety from other peopleâs situations itâs best to educate yourself on the laws in your state. Most often DHS are so overburdened that unless there is a reported problem they are not looking to open a case. Very often there are programs available through DHS to help keep young mothers and their babies healthy. Very often DHS holds an interest in making sure all parties responsible for the baby are being responsible.
