I agreed...

A lot of younger teens get abuse and discipline confused with one another... I'm not saying thats the case here, but it's a possiblity...

Another thing, I wouldn't mess with the mom, being a registered sex offender isn't something that sounds like fun.

I worked with a guy that was in a similar situation years ago. Eventually it ended up in her parents filing statuatory rape on him after she got pregnant.

He went to court, pled guilty to the charges, and was given his sentence concerning paying child support (after he got out of prison).

The baby came out black

On a serious note- anything can happen. A good relationship with your in-laws counts for a lot more than you think it will. We've all been at that age, and people change. IMO it's not worth risking. I've seen a lot of teenagers get married in spite of their parents, and most I've seen weren't done for the right reasons. Enjoy HS and College while it lasts, it isn't worth getting wrapped up in all this drama.

I'm old so I'm gonna tell a story

My best friend married a 17-year old many years ago. He had this truck, him and his dad built back when he was 16. It was a work of art. To make a really long story short, he sold his truck for the down payment on a house, got divorced a few years later and she got the house.

His dad never forgave him. All his friends warned him, including me. He choose not to listen. Teens today have the maturity level of a 10-year old.

Do yourself a favor THINK.

If this is the same one youve posted three stories about before its time for her to go.

Just realize you are NOT Superman. You can NOT fix everyone and all their problems. Sometimes when you try, you end up causing more harm for the other parties.

Take it from me, Im living proof. THe ex I have a kid with is much like your situation, sorta.

I was 18, she was 15 (told me she was 16 going on 17)...

well i can tell you from personal experience that when minors are concerned someone can take out not a restraining order becuase those are good for up to 2 years but they can get an epo (emergency protection order) and those are good for 2 weeks usually and they have to be renewed every 2 weeks or they expire. to renew an epo you generally have to go to court and state your case which unfortunately once again concerning minors doesnt have to amount to much....the problem here is that once an epo is issued unless it is dismissed first time around it usually goes to court.....granted this will be a civil trial to determine any wrongdoing but after that they pursue criminal charges....

well thanks for the opinions but im gonna opt to ignore all the advice. Im not one to take advice and I dont have anything to lose. Id rather end up in jail than screwing up what could be a wonderful future together. I know you all mean well, but i didnt really ask for your opinions (no offense) i asked for reasources or if anyone knew what the age of concent was for pa or laws concerning restraining orders.

well let me be the first to say i take no offense to your not heeding some well earned experienced advice but also would like to point out that there are probably other resources in your life for the answers you seek as i dont think there are any pa lawyers on this board....lacking any friends or family who would care to help you your states website or possibly yahoo or google would be a good place to get the answers you seek without any of the personal advice, this is the internet and this is a discussion forum so you are going to get opionions and you knew this

It's also the fact that a lot of us came from a very different time, and some of us are parents. There was no talk of police, statuatory rape, and restraining orders when I was growing up. Back then parents took matters into their own hands and kids respected that regardless of whether they agreed with them or not. If a guy did something in spite of the g/f's parents, the parents weren't gonna go to the police about it. They were going to be out tracking that guy down and getting ready to kick some ass, and we understood that.

if you don't want our opinions, maybe you'd be better off not posting your personal problems across the open internet :)
