should the cops and social workers be present for jackson and his family meeting

Yes but maybe they are afraid the baby will be taken away by SS so they are testing the water in order to inform the father's parents. How rude were they criticising where Anna and Owen lived.

I think they should get a DNA test done and then the parents cannot ignore theor sons part in the matter. I think they were in shock and denial and scared and lashing out. The father at the beginning was ready to believe it. It was the mother who was doing the protecting son bit. In the scenes where Anna takes the baby to school Jackson is present and I think laughing. Not sure he gets to shoulder his share of responsibility in the matter.

OK scrap the idea of Jackson's family having custody of the baby. What a nice family they are...

Tim loves her so much it'd be cruel to take her away now. He knows he can redeem himself for abandoning Faye by helping care for the baby. Maybe if Faye decides she doesn't want to be a mum, Tim and Sally could adopt her? We never see Faye holding her so I guess she's avoiding it as much as possible. Maybe she'll grow to love her though.

I found the last scene rather strange. Izzy was sympathetic towards Owen but then said something along the lines of him bringing it all upon himself. I agree but it jarred with her earlier words.

To insist on a DNA test they would need to go to the police I feel? They can't force Jackson to have a sample taken.

So to involve the police in a case of Jackson ( a minor) having sex with a minor?

Faye was under 13 at time of sexual intercourse
so that is now a criminal.offence as a girl under
13 is not deemed leagally competent to give
consent. Therefore it is not consensual even if
she says she agreed.
But a male 10+ can be charged with rape or
sexual.assault.I ve no idea whether in practice
they would be charged -but possiblity is there.

There is "confidentiality" when dealing with
under age sex eg counsellors but the advice is
the confidentiality dosent automatically override
other factors where they exist.

Which is why as I said in an earlier post that
I hope some thorough research has been done
and legal advice taken.

if I was Anna I'd have rung the police the minute Jenkins family flounced out and reporting the little scrote

I'm sure she'll tell the police who the father is as they're bound to keep asking. I doubt Jackson would stand up to any questioning. My worry is that when his family accept the baby's his, they'll try to get custody as they've already made it obvious they think Faye and her family are scum. They seem just the type to want to control the situation.

Could be a clash of the Titans then-
as Anna also very controlling and caused
Faye not to be able to tell her earlier!
which made things worse.
Im most sorry for baby(tho she is unaware)
and then for Faye. I hope Tims attitude can
salvage something out of this.
I think Anna just regards the baby and Faye
as "possessions" not people and the fathers
family are equally unpleasant!!
