Child with a Child

Every parent can tell you that raising a child is often demanding, thankless, hard work. But when a teenager gets pregnant and has a child of her own, the result can be stress and chaos for both mother and baby -- along with every other member of the family. Little Gabriel is just 13 months old, and he’s caught in the middle of a troubling situation. His mom, Meghann, is only 18, is living at home and is constantly fighting with the rest of the family. Her parents and sister say she doesn’t pay enough attention to her child, she’s irresponsible and that she’s put little Gabriel in danger. But the teenage mom says her relatives just won’t give her a chance, and she needs to get out -- but how? Find out why the police paid a late night visit to the family home, and what Meghann’s mom found in Meghann’s purse that stoked her fears about Gabriel’s safety. Plus, this isn’t the only household with several generations living under one roof. If the economic downturn has driven your family into close quarters, you won’t want to miss this show!
