You can allow your 17 year old son to live under any circumstances that you deem fit as a parent. Just know a few things.... If he moves out you are still responsible for his actions should he get in trouble. If an incident happens, being that he is under 18 you are financially responsible for...

I agree with cbg honey. You don't need emanciaption, you need clinical support. Sweety, it sounds like you have gone along with whatever has been offered but it's not enough. This is what I honesly suggest........ You have mentioned suicidal thoughts, I honestly suggest that you get a ride...

Yeap, the responses you got are correct! Did they have the right? Probably not, but the option was to call the cops and have you locked up, which would have been a whole lot worse. Would they since they were the ones that sold it and saw it? Probably not, that risks their liquor license and...

Honey, you need to call your local department of Social Services and make a report of child abuse if what you say is true and correct. If you can't find the number any other way call 911 and tell them that it's not an emergency but you need to speak to the on duty social services coverage...

Because many things we use in normal everyday life contain a trace amount of acohol including many dental hygiene products such as Binaca breath spray, and other mouth washes and some cough and cold products!

Just wanted to hear popular opinion. My 19 year old just signed on with the Marines, he has a 95-99% chance of being deployed to Iraq in the next 12 months. When I was 18 we could atleast drink beer, but now they can't until 21. What has changed so much in the last 20 years that one is...

That's where you are sooooo wrong. If I was easy I wouldn't have bothered telling anyone way back 30 years ago. 12 year old kids are having hormonal issues and if you and the public school system can't accept that you have no reason in the world being around 12 year old kids. Pre-teens and...

They have told you the basics, but it's much more complicated. I live in VA and have read the emancipation laws. Basically, you would have to be allowed by your parents to leave the home and set up your own living arrangements. If you initially leave without this permission than you are a...

I may be wrong, but I think when she said "fooling around with another male" that she meant "goofing around", which all normal kids do at one time or another. Correct me if I'm wrong. Now, the hand on the butt thing, I don't believe for a minute that it was an accident, I've got 4 sons 10-19...

Uhmmm Tabby, even with the Felony, I highly doubt that she will do any time. I know what your family is going through and they will continue to harrass the legal parents over the matter and do nothing to the child. I was a foster parent for nearly 15 years, saw alot of kids come and go, but...

As a homeschooling mom myself, I find that quite disturbing, if in fact your parental rights are intact you should have the final say on your child's education within the guidelines of the law. I would suggest that you contact your State's Homeschooling association or the Homeschool Legal...

HomeGuru, I wonder why you think there is more to the story? I had something similar happen at my house almost 20 years ago, some guy was using our address that had never actually lived there as far as we can tell (we contacted the two prior owners who said they never heard of him either). For...

OhBullship and a few others, I think you need to read the terms of service. My opinion is that your responses clearly violate the terms of service established by this board and it's host company and needs to be reported to the Administrators. If there are indeed no moderators or administrators...
