Another Dad is here freaking out!!!

Not one person has slandered the girl or called her a slut. My concern would be that a 17-year-old boy would not appreciate the difficulty and vulnerability of her circumstances, not that he would be morally tainted.

Or maybe it should be phrased that he shouldn’t treat her as a slut or go into something like this looking only for sex (and for a 17-year-old that can be a tricky thing. A lot of young guys imagine they’re in love with the first girl they sleep with). I think it needs to be impressed on the kid that this is a family he’s getting involved with, not just a chick who might put out, and he needs to respect that.

Yes, that. Thanks!

Good point.

Also, if the boy’s sexually active, there’s always the chance he’s impregnated a few teenage girls himself.
