    Yes, because he has committed a crime.

    Nobody can force you to speak - but don't you think people know his identity? It wouldn't be too difficult to identify him...y'know? And once that happens, he CAN be compelled to submit his DNA which will (or, who knows? might not) prove that he fathered your child.

    I suspect the hospital/doctor will find out your age, and they'll be compelled as mandatory reporters to make official notification. There really isn't any "if" about the situation...only "when".

    And, assuming that the state will be paying the medical bills and likely will be paying for the subsistence of you and the child, they have a vested interest in discovering who daddy is and getting HIM to reimburse them and to help with the maintenance of you and the child.

    They will look for him, and if you do not give him up there might be repercussions for you.

    That depends on who "they" might be.
