The person who can be in legal trouble is you. Since your boyfriend is 15, you are guilty of rape as a 15 year old cannot consent to sex. Because of your age, you cannot receive over one year in jail. You need to sever all ties with him, come clean with your mother and get your mother's help to deal with child support issues and to deal with your possible rape arrest. Do NOT post more about this on the internet as you have here. If you move you make it worse, as you will be a runaway and can also be detained by juvenile court and the people who take you in can go to prison for interference with custody. Again, you need to stay at home, tell your mother what is going on, and hope you will help; you legally and emotionally. Good luck.
