What kind of financial support does the goverment offer to a couple who are both under 16 and the female is pregnant?In: Teen Pregnancy |

Answer
I'm not an expert, but there are government supported programs for just about every aspect of this situation ie. Medical, Welfare, foodstamps, etc...
There are also program that focus on long term solution. 'Work assitance' and 'extended education' programs for both mother and father are available in every county. Although it sounds like too much to handle, bringing a child up by two parents with no education WILL be much more difficult in the long run. I was raised by a mother who was also 16 when she had me, and even though I was abundantly loved, life was a constant struggle because neither of my parents were old enough to acquire SKILLS. These programs teach real world skills, so supporting the child is actually possible.
Contact your local welfare services department. Good luck
