my daughter was 14 when she was raped,and had a child. the child is a constant reminder of what happened,so she wants no ties. how can she relinquish her rights to this child?
This is a hard one. Under most circumstances a court would not grant a TPR. But they might in this instance.
However, I question why she didn't put the child up for adoption at birth or even abort. How old is the child now? That could have a bearing on the court's decision.
Very good catch. The age of the child does have some significance in this situation. If she didn't want the baby and was still pregnant then it could be placed for adoption and a very loving family would adopt. It is still possible for this to happen but it will be much harder if the child is no longer an infant just because of all the people wanting to adopt (and there are TONS!!!) most want to start with an infant. Basiclly though if the child is over a certain age it isn't likely that you will be able to just give up on it because the judge will say you had plenty of chances before and right after the baby was born that you decided you wanted to keep it.
After looking at the post that J9 pointed out I took it to mean that because the bio mother, his daughter, was so young he took on guardianship of the child but that wouldn't necessarily end her "ties" as he said in this thread. I could be way off but just from two sentences that is what I gathered.

Good catch yourself. I didn't look at it quite that way. But I do see your point now. Most likely this is the case.
