My 15 year old brother-in-law’s girlfriend just died from childbirth. Need to know what legal rights the he would have

My brother-in-law and his girlfriend just had a baby. The baby is perfectly healthy, but due to complications his girlfriend has unfortunately passed away as of this morning. She was 15 as well. Now HER family is threatening to take the child and saying it’s my brother-in-law’s fault for her death because he got her pregnant (which we are assuring him it’s not his fault.) my brother in law (even though he is young) wants his child and wants to raise it. He has support of his entire side of the family as well as his dad saying he’s willing to get a lawyer over it. I’m just wondering if things are different with minors? I know if they were adults, the baby would go to the father with no question. But since he’s under 18 will things be different? (We’re in Ohio if this makes a difference)
