Given she is underage and pregnant, who made her pregnant? Why are they so desperate to conceal the evidence of the miscarriage, to the point where they burned

Given she is underage and pregnant, who made her pregnant? Why are they so desperate to conceal the evidence of the miscarriage, to the point where they burned the body, was it to prevent DNA testing? That's just the tip of the iceberg here. It needs to be understood why they took this course of action.

A teenager getting pregnant from another teenager is extremely common, and likely more common than the alternative. Burning a body is also an extremely traditional, something like 60% of Americans are cremated. Suggesting the police need to be involved in totally ordinary circumstances seems silly to me.

  > The idea that all of those instances require an investigation Only the ones where the woman who is pregnant is underage and someone decides to burn the body. Her mother not taking her to the hospital is neglect at a minimum. A miscarriage at that point could easily result in death.

    It's wild what people on HN will write from a position of privilege. Because everyone has the money to just go to the hospital. Plus everything you just wrote is a deterrent for women to seek care. If you know you'll be criminally investigated for a miscarriage even if you did nothing wrong you'll think twice before seeking care. Which of course means more women will die. But by all means continue with your "investigations".

      All children in the US can go to the hospital: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Health_Insurance_Program https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Health_Insuranc... Either way not being able to afford food for your children is still neglect. The mother has a duty of care she failed to live up to. > criminally investigated for a miscarriage even if you did nothing wrong Disposing of human remains without going through the proper channels is "something wrong". It's a public health risk.
