Q: helping pregnant friend

Hey Everybody.
The other day, I just found out that my best friend who is 17 is pregnant. She lives in the big city about 50 km's (40ish miles) away and has some major home issues (no parents), long story short, she is homeless. The cops wont do anything, be there done that. Now not only that, but her boyfriend (the baby's father) is involved in a major gang and is into drugs, etc. He says that he is wanting this baby and everything but I'm scared that something really awful is gonna happen, anything (I know the guy, and he is bad news!).
She wants to move back (to live with me) but I'm afraid that her boyfriend will make her stay in the city where her life went down hill very fast in the first place. Also she has past expirence in a few drugs, and also shes been drunk alot (im not sure if she has been while pregnant). She also smokes. I know she is smart enough to stop but she falls for peer pressure very, very easily.
Anyways, I really want to help her with this baby, but I don't know how to go about it. I had a misscarrage about 9 months ago, which really hurt, so helping her would make me feel good also. Any advice will be greatly appretiated!
Thanks!

If she wants to move in with you, let her. It's her choice and if she tries to go back to him, talk her out of it. I hope everything goes well!
