The purpose of a mentor is to take interest and show avenues for an individual to succeed. Tough Love is a judgmental, authoritarian approach to correct at-risk behavior. That should have happened before this young woman got pregnant in the first place.
I would agree the woman needs mentoring, but tough love only goes as far with young adults. The horse so to say, is past the farm door and in the pasture. She now has the responsibility for 3 children plus pre-natal care for the child yet to be born.
