    Default Re: Big mess in Virginia

    I am not confusing bluntness and rudeness here. I am not interested in arguing about it, either. If you are looking for a kitchen to heat up, try a cooking forum. If you wish to be "blunt" to the point that I perceive you as rude, try somebody else's forum. Thank you.

    Everything I stated is legally accurate. Perhaps I should have included some in my responses to avoid hurting the feelings of the OP??

    If you could perhaps outline what you perceive as "rude", and I will endeavor to abide by your guidelines.

    I agree there is a difference between being blunt and being rude and that the line was unnecessarily crossed on some of these posts.

    DL, I feel for you and I know you must be going through hell right now figuring out how to fix this mess. I admire you for trying to help this child out, but you need to be careful how you proceed. You did, however, leave out a key piece of information

    If your son is not in the home where the girl is, and YOU didn't know that she was underage AND the mother has placed her there, I don't think a judge or DCS is going to come after you. I'd keep the son well away from her for the time being (as far as sleeping under the same roof) and make sure they are properly chaperoned if he does happen to be around.

    Whatever your son did in PRIVATE with this girl, you weren't there and you are not responsible. He is, and he'll probably have some legal backlash because of it. However, YOU trying to help both of them AFTER the fact isn't a criminal act, it is attempting to act responsibly under the given set of circumstances. After all, you have a vested interest in the child she is carrying now, regardless of how legal his/her creation was. WE don't PLAN on becoming grandparents and that is out of our control 99.9% of the time. I can't imagine a judge faulting you for that, but you never know, they make crazy decisions once in a while. (I could tell you stories about Virginia's legal system and that's precisely WHY I'm living in Georgia now! LOL)

    The BEST ADVICE you can get is see an attorney IMMEDIATELY to avoid any hint of impropriety on YOUR part. The bottom line is that you are an innocent bystander in the mess your SON created. Don't allow yourself to become a victim by not knowing your legal rights/obligations.

    God Bless and keep us posted on how things go for you.
