If you live in the United States, you do have to do something unlawful to get probation. It just isn't handed out like candy when parents say their kids are bad. There has to be proof. Trust me, I know, my husband is in law enforcement. If she is on probation from "he said/she said" it probably isn't binding in the first place.
It is good that you care about your friend so much. Right now she could probably use all of the good friends she can get.

Wow, I guess being a mother and having a child doesn't mean I know what it's like to be pregnant and scared. Apparently, you didn't read the entire post, I have been there as a friend and a sister when my sister went through her teen pregnancy.
You asked for advice on emancipation. You posted publically for advice. I gave you advice including ACTUAL facts and law according to the state you guys live in. You asked for advice to help her as a teenage mother, advice was posted. Someone has to think of this baby's health, care, and future. Reality and being an adult isn't perfect and what you think it should be.
And even with your attitude I wouldn't allow around my own child, I understand you want to be there for her. It's great that you want to help and be there as a friend through this tough time, but being nasty and not understanding the law and nature of the situation isn't going to help. It's NOT going to get any easy for her, the baby, or anyone else affected by this. My point wasn't to be cruel or mean, but to be honest in helping what is best, advice wise.

Please stop with the probation thing. Nothing you say is going to change my mind about what I know. I need advice on how to get my friend the emotional support she needs. Please if you have just that, post. If you don't, please don't go on telling me I'm wrong about what I know. I don't want opinions, I want help.

You could urge her to talk to a counsellor or therapist, or ask her parents to take her to a psychologist. There are also support groups she might be able to look into.
If your friend needs serious help, there's only so much you can do as her friend. No one can help her until she decides to help herself.

i can tell you that expecting a baby has a lot of down sides. one of those is the emotions. trust me the things you are telling her do help her. you may be losing your mind, but try to image for just a minute that you no longer count on you parents, the people that are supposed to help you through you toughest hours, are now gone and don't care about you or about their grandchild that you are now carring.
let her know that you will not leave because honestly i think that she will not stand if another person she depends on leaves
