    Can Parents Charge You With Trespassing If Their Child Invites You Into the House
    My question involves juvenile law (age 16) in the State of: Virginia I'm 15 and my boyfriend is 16 my parents said if my boyfriend came to our apartment theyd call the cops and have him arrested that my having friends at the apartment is a liability expecially him. I think this is ridiculous, I dont think he could be charged with trustpassing if I LET HIM IN and theres no other crimes I could think of that would apply.
    What could he be arrested for and why? and what liability would my parents be facing?


    Note: My father hasnt said any of this to him only to me

    He could indeed be hauled in for trespassing if he has been told to stay away.

    Your parents are the boss of you, and they are the boss of their house. Yes, they can get your boyfriend into all kinds of trouble if you and he refuse to accept that...as well as making life pretty darned uncomfortable for you. Are you really so selfish that you want to put your boyfriend at that kind of risk? If you really care about him then protecting him should be one of your first priorities. Encouraging him to come into your house when you know that he is at risk is about the most selfish thing you could do.

    I'm not having him over again. I dont want to hurt him. I just wanted to know if he really could get in legal trouble for it.

    May I suggest, then, that you don't let your boyfriend in. Tell him that he is not welcome, and then make arrangements to meet him where your parents might approve. Maybe when your parents are at home!

    I suspect that what they object to is his showing up when they are not around, and that for some reason they do not like him. Perhaps if he addresses the issue(s) that cause them to disapprove of him that things might improve.

    Your parents would face no liability. They could call the police and have him removed with a trespass warning the first time and charges the second. Further, they could take away princesses cell phone, computer access and ground her to her room.
