Case Study 1- Nancy
•Nancy is a 17 year old young person who has been in a relationship
with her partner Dan, for 18 months.
•Nancy is a cared for child and is 13 weeks pregnant with her and Dan's
first baby.
•Nancy initially had planned to have a Termination of Pregnancy (TOP),
stating she was young, lived at home with her carer and could not
financially support having a baby. She was supported in her decision by
her partner Dan.
•Nancy then decided to continue with the pregnancy. She advises that
she never really wanted to terminate the pregnancy she just went along
with the plan of termination 'to please others'. Mostly Dan and his
family.
•A heated verbal argument between Nancy and her partner Dan
ensued. Dan drove off in a rage in his car, driving over the curb where
Nancy was standing.
•This resulted in a fracture to her ankle which required surgery.
