is the end all and be all. This family needed support and help. From Grandma, to mom and all the children. This child, and her child have been failed in so many ways.

Parental consent for medical treatment should not be necessary in these types of situations. What if the pregnancy was a result of incest, or mom's boyfriend? Mom doesn't want to give consent, then what?
