The only thing you cuold really do for her right now is hold her hand, and just talk to her when she needs someone. You need to be her backbone and support, since she is lacking that from her family.

I was her once only not as young. I
know parents somehow feel it is catching
I guess.
It can happen to anyone very easily.
Condoms break all the time. Please
be careful yourself. 14 is way to
young to have that responsibility.
Call her, use the internet to communicate
if you can. Just communicate with her.
You can't do much at your age if your
mom just strictly forbids your seeing her.
There are those other ways to keep in
touch though. Use them. Let her talk to
you about what she is going through. Be
a good listener. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

On the other hand, living with her dad who doesn't care about her isn't the best chice for someone who is going to have a baby. Is she able to take care of the baby until it's off to college? Having/taking care of a baby isn't cheap, or fun. Don't leave her just because she messed up, she needs friends right now more then anything I'm sure. Theirs nothing you can do to help her; I mean what do you want to do to help her? Just don't leave her, and ask her questions, make her excited to have someone new in her life. Do you know if she's putting it up for adopiton? Next time you see her, give her a big hug and tell her you care for her. It means a lot just to be hugged sometimes.
- Hope I helped!
