There’s a lot more to unpack here that isn’t in the headline. The whole situation is fucked up.
If you have not been to Idaho, just know this insane shit is common. It’s the Alabama of the west.

Utah is it’s own fucked up place unlike anywhere else.
America failing it’s people is the standard
I don’t know what the right charges are in this situation. Maybe kidnapping is the best they could do, but it certainly sounds like some sort of charges were justified. They coerced her into getting an abortion against her will by threatening to abandon her and kick her out of the house she was living in if she continued the pregnancy.
Title doesn’t provide context: transported a minor for an out of state abortion, son was an adult sleeping with a minor
They are two years apart, both underage. Then when he turned 18, suddenly that makes it different? She had been living with them for an extended period of time and having consensual sex while both were minors. When she became pregnant, the family didn’t want her to keep the pregnancy, where the options were to either get an abortion (valid, especially for 16-18 Y/Os still wholly dependent on the parents financially and for shelter) or her going back to her family’s Idaho house and having the baby. She chose the former. That’s not kidnapping, that’s a choice.
Grey area. Not a large age gap and they were together while both being minors.
That mom and son come across as really gross. I hope that girl gets real help.
Holyshit, what a clusterfuck. This actually sounds about right, here.
