29M got my niece 15F pregnant

TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image

I am beside myself.

The same girl who sang to me in her baby voice, who held my hand when she went to sleep, who was my shadow. Parents said bc she just turned 16, age of consent, he "can't get in trouble," & if "their son was being stupid & believed a lie," (allegedly she lied to him saying she was 20) they "wouldn't want their son's life to be ruined by a lie." But here's the thing. She LOOKS young. Tiny body, acne, mf braces!! When I asked my 26M friend, he said she looked 13 to him so...

They're not pursuing legal action. "He will be taking care of and paying for everything." I asked if he had other kids, not sure. What kind of environment is this baby going to be shared into???

I encouraged her to think bout her options. Parents will not pay for an abortion & she'd have to travel, but they said they'd support her after. Idk what she will choose, but I am scared for my niece & I am scared for her baby. I'm just disgusted and beside myself & I need to get it out.

I understand, too, that there are some serious issues here besides just the physical situation. There's how tf did my girl think at 15 that some disgusting 30 year old was like... okay? That is so sad. I hate that he got to her, did God knows what to her future, that he won't face any repercussions for his filth. I hate that she is too inexperienced & naive to understand just what this all means now & later. How later in life, she will find herself disgusted with him and saddened for her younger self.

I wish I could've said or did something sooner so this wouldn't have happened. I feel by my own cowardice & not sharing my stories with her, I have failed her. Maybe if she knew what I've experienced & learned, she would've made different decisions. I can't do anything now except just watch. I hate it.
