What are you asking? Do you want to file criminal charges? I do not see a crime here as your daughter was 16. However, how old was she and the boy when the baby was conceived? This was not a rape situation, was it? It looks like consensual sex. Besides, it will do no one any good if this guy is sent to jail, least of all the baby. The father of the child has a duty to support his child. You and your daughter should seek child support once the baby is born.
