What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
I live in the State of Maryland.
There is a 15 year old boy that has been having issues with his mother. Because of this, she randomly kicks him out of the house and refuses to let him back in. This has gone on for over a year. His best friend lives next door, but their family does not have the means to support him. Because of this he hangs out at my house during this time and he has pretty much spent 28 out of the last 30 days at my house and has practically lived here for the last six months. Today, his mother called and said he needed to come clean the house and then leave. His mother is aware of where he is, and sometimes calls and tells me to come and get him. The reason she is doing this is because he doesn't want her doing pills (snorting them) in front of his little brother, and she allows his step father to beat his little brother and says nothing about it. When the 15 year old steps up to stop the abuse, he is thrown out.
Over this time, I have purchased his food, clothes (because she would not allow him to have his stuff), taken him to school, taken him to basketball practice and everything else that a mother does for their kid. I have four children of my own, but at 15 he is practically an adult (mentally).
The problem is that his mother still won't let him in the house, but she is demanding for him to move to New York and even mailed him a bus ticket, even though she lives about three blocks away. The reason for this time, he physically prevented his step dad from beating his brother. He doesn't want to move to New York because he is a straight A student here, he has enrolled in early college classes through an online college and will basically graduate high school and get his AAS in the same month (of course this is a couple of years away). He also has a part time job that he does not want to leave. His father is not in the picture either.
What are his options? Does he have to move to New York with a relative he doesn't know, or at 15 and has a stable income can he rent an efficiency apartment if the landlord is willing? Can he chose to live with someone he knows here? He wants to stay here since he has a room and everything he needs, does he have that option at 15?
