Re: 2 minors having kids
Your son could be charged with Lewd or Lascivious Battery (Statutory Rape), which is having sex with someone under 16. Assuming he's charged as an adult, he could be looking at 15 years, with a typical sentence for a first-time offender being about seven years. But prosecutors are usually a lot kinder with offenders his age.
Your son's girlfriend can take the 15-month-old at any time, since she's the biological parent. The grandmother has no rights to the 15-month-old. Your son will have the same parenting rights as his girlfriend once he files a paternity suit.
