  • Essay / Teen Pregnancy Scenario - 1268

    Review 3Maizee LambMillikin UniversityAdrienne felt she had no choice when she harassed her family on Facebook. She was a thirteen-year-old girl from Illinois, caught in a family feud over a very important cause: her baby. She had just recently gotten into a very physical argument with her boyfriend and baby's father, Shawn, at school over who would take better care of the beautiful little baby. Once the fight occurred, the school felt that since it was a family matter, pressing the charges on school ground would only make things worse. Their college decided to let them go with just a warning, which ended up resulting in Adrienne and Shawn being charged with an entirely different criminal case. Since Adrienne is the baby's mother, she legally has full custody since Shawn didn't sue her. Shawn's family feels that Adrienne does not deserve to have full custody since Shawn is the one with a part-time job providing the baby's necessities. The Facebook feud broke out between Adrienne and Shawn's family, discussing what she actually does for the baby besides just "babysitting" when she's not at school, and why she should and should not have full custody. Except Adrienne said, “Because I’m his mother!” ", she really had no other reason why she deserved her rights and her anger led her to threaten to take the baby away from Shawn and his family for the rest of their lives. . This threat is where it began and ended, in theory. Shawn began commenting saying multiple profanities about her and her parenting; he physically threatened Adrienne and told her he was going to sue her. The comments continued to come and go until finally an extended family...... middle of paper...... and then moving forward as a whole family unit. If they can do that, then I see them being able to be civil to each other from now on and they should be able to take care of the baby together, without conflict. References Agnew, R. and Brezina, T.
