Women arrested for helping incest-victim daughter get an abortion

And what in the world could this Florida mom possibly be charged with? Evidence tampering and child neglect. Un-fucking-believable.
The girl’s 40-year-old stepfather was charged Friday with familial sexual battery. The 33-year-old mother also was arrested. Both are free on $5,000 bond. The girl [17-years-old] and her sister have been placed in state custody.
Palm Beach County sheriff’s detectives wanted to perform a paternity test on the fetus as part of the investigation, but they say the mother took her daughter to a Broward County clinic for an abortion without notifying them.

They were both arrested and freed on the same bond?! So I guess helping your daughter receive a legal abortion is the criminal equivalent of rape. Lovely.
And am I really supposed to care about the state’s interest in their investigation over what this girl wants for herself?
Who is the real criminal here: A mom helping her rape-victim daughter to get an abortion or the police possibly forcing a 17-year-old to have her stepfather’s child simply because they need evidence.
