Parents under the age of 16 to have their children taken away

Additional Information

It is illegal to have sex under the age of 16, so why if a child of the age of 12-15 gives birth to a baby are they allowed to keep it when they have clearly broken the law. For the well-being and for the best interest of the child and the parents (whom is also a child), they should remove the baby from the custody of it's under aged parent. They have clearly broken the law and should be given consequences to their actions. A child is not capable of caring for a baby, and by allowing a child to keep the baby, it is promoting under aged sex and teenage parenthood. It is not safe for a newborn baby to be brought up by an amateur.
