Best Answer

Her parents can usually take the child in or grandparents. Child Welfare is usually not far away and has the right to decide what is a fitting home for the child. If the mother's parents or grandparents are not fit to raise the child then the child could become a ward of the courts, but, if the father of the child comes forward and can prove he has the finances to raise that child in a good environment (even his parents helping out or grandparents) then he could raise this child. When the young woman gets out of the Juvenile facility she will have rights to see her child, but it is up to the courts to decide if she is a fit parent. If not, then the father can have sole custody. Marcy
