No one should compel the boy to be a father in any way whatsoever, let him have a childhood.

As a matter of fact, no child should be coerced or forced into parenthood.

If he was a girl in many states he would be. And once he/she turns 18 or 19, he/she will be blamed and shamed for being a bad parent or a wayward mother. Maybe he/she will need to go get a job and support the kid while also finding childcare that he/she can afford..

8 years to wait before he can rent a car in most places, it will be 12 years before car rental agencies stop tacking on the extra fee for young drivers.. Can’t be trusted with such a valuable asset..
