ARe you looking for teens who commit child abuse or teen parenting and having 
been a victim of child abuse?  I know Ounce of Prevention Fund in Illinois 
found a high percentage of teen moms who had been victims of childhood sexual 
abuse.  Good luck!

Quoting Hayley Williamson <hwilliamson@preventchildabusewi.org>:
