Your post is extremely confusing, who is 'he' and who are 'we'? Post the facts clearly and ask a legal question.

Am I correct in assuming that you want to allow your son to run away? Or kick him out? and you are worrying if you do if you can get in legal trouble if you dont notify the police? He is as you said almost 18 I doubt that you will get in trouble and if he has beat you up call the police! It's called tough love. You have younger children that you need to worry about. I would let the police deal with this because at his age it would be the big boy jail that might get his butt straight! Why the heck are you letting him get away this?

yes i am asking will i get into trouble if i don't report if he does run away. i don't think i can wait for him to turn 18,...though i am trying. i love my husband and at the time my son beat me up, i did call the police.i didn't press charges though..worried how my husband would feel about the whole thing.but son has no remorse in his actions, or a difference in behavior for the better. he don't want to be here, and is gonna make the rest of us misserable until he turns 18.son always says he's gonna run away....should i let him? will i get into trouble?

If he does run away report it yes. But tell the police about all of the problems you have been having with him and tell them you do not want him returned to your home as he is almost 18 and all of the issues you have been having with him and as for your husband well I am sorry but who cares what he thinks my husband doesnt allow anyone to disrespect me or hurt me because he knows that as his wife and as a good woman respect towards me is demanded. If I were you I would think twice about what kind of man you are married to who doesnt expect the children to respect and honor you. Protect yourself and the younger children in the home and find yourself a real man. Stop acting the part of timid woman and demand the respect owed to you! Although if the father doesnt demand that you be treated with respect no wonder the son is as he is.

He beat you up and you have to ask what you should do?? Kick him out NOW and let the world teach him a thing or two. Call the police and let them know what's going on and have a uniformed officer present while you give him 10 minutes to grab what ever he wants and then get the heck out. I would also look into getting a restraining order. He doesn't respect you so let him go learn a thing or two in the world. Keep coddling him and protecting him and you'll keep getting what you've been getting. It's past time for a new approach.
