    Just a thought.

    Has she told anyone else apart from you? Do any of her friends know about this?

    Now you know how far gone she is, can you count back to what she was doing around the point of conception? I know it's not an exact science but it might give you some clues.

    Remember that if she is 14 weeks pregnant then you need to think what she was doing about 12 weeks ago.

    I agree that you need open ended questions which allow her to give you information rather than one word answers. Maybe stressing that she is isn't in any trouble and you want to help her but that you need to know who the father is if only so you are reassured.

    It is tough but once past you won't need to ask again so maybe tell her this

    Suggestion - Dave and Vax's posts i am now hitting the "spam" button on if enough users do this the post will go for good. Sure this is not how the system was meant to be used but the abuse team are too slow to deal with moderating the forum correctly.

    I am also a bit disappointed people continued to debate the wrongs and rights when we have very little information to go on, lots of judgements being made here about a girl we know little about.
    When using the housing forum please use the sticky threads for valuable information.

    i agree about this and also don't quote their posts as it just lets more people who have them on ignore see them.

    If you object to people's posts you should report them to Abuse, although I don't think these comments really warrant it. MSE is an unmoderated forum, you know.
