Teen sues family over alleged abortion threat
(CNN) — A Corpus Christi, Texas, teenager is suing her family, claiming they are trying to force her to have an abortion.
The 14-year-old girl is 10 weeks pregnant and wants to carry her child to term, says her attorney.
The teen sought legal help after she was allegedly physically and verbally assaulted by her grandmother and two cousins.
The grandmother and both cousins are accused in the suit of verbally abusing the girl and scheduling an appointment for an abortion without the teen's permission. The teen's lawyers were able to get an emergency restraining order put in place before the scheduled abortion.
One of the cousins is also accused in the suit of threatening and physically harming the girl.
CNN's calls to the grandmother went unanswered. CNN could not reach either of the cousins.
"The girl was grabbed by the neck, hit across the face, and thrown into a car in addition to the verbal abuse," said Stephen Casey, the teen's lawyer, who refused to release the girl's name.
