Especially vulnerable to pregnancy: foster youth
There are many reasons why people who care for and about children in foster care should place teenage pregnancy prevention high on their list of concerns. Research shows that teen girls in foster care are 2.5 times more likely than their peers not in foster care to get pregnant by age 19. Half of 21-year-old men aging out of foster care report they had gotten someone pregnant, compared with 19 percent of their peers who were not in foster care, according to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen & Unplanned Pregnancy.

the new Solicitor who has excellent credibility may be of some help, for this 16 year old to keep her baby.
In another case another young girl has become pregnant twice while in the care of the Local Authority, the first baby was an adoption target, and has been forcibly adopted, she has been allowed to keep the second child.
YOUNG VULNERABLE GIRLS ARE BEING LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES AND THIS PREDICAMENT IS ABOUT TO GET A LOT WORSE
