Okay, I'll admit all I did was read the original post, but I want to be able to say my opinion/thoughts before reading everything else.

My parents always told me that if I were to get pregnant and the guy was 18, they'd press charges, even if I didn't want them to. My feelings on the subject are and were that if I seduced him and I wasn't held down and raped against my will, it's just as much my fault as his. When a girl is sixteen, she's old enough to know what she's doing and old enough to HAVE to accept the consequences. If the guy wants to accept the responsibility also and be a part of that child's life, let them be married and deal with it together.

HOWEVER. I also see your point of view and wanting to protect your daughter and your grandchild. Still, if she doesn't feel victimized, then take that into consideration. Sometimes you need to let your kid figure shit out on their own. She's going to feel the way she feels no matter what, and she may or may not get over it. Is it worth losing your daughter and your grandson (whom you obviously love)?
