I don't see the connection between the father of the teen girl and the crime committed. Though, the father suppose to be aware of his daughter's behavior and whereabouts. We are living in a terrible time. How do the young girl do such a terrible crime all alone?

The father wasn't the one throwing the newlyborn, it was the teen mom herself. It is unfair for the police to arrest the father. It must be the teen to be jailed. She's the one doing the crime.

The police are probably going round and round cause the girl is not up to 18, because i don't see how the father is related to the crime at the moment.

Yes, that is true, they charged the father for not attending to his daughter after giving birth, but the father wasn't with her. The police are unfair and morons,
