The solution is you step up and take control of this spoiled brat. He does have a place to go. It's called HOME.
He doesn't have the right to CHOOSE where he lives and what he does. Ground him to his room stripped bare of everything but the very basic necessities. Put industrial locks on his windows and the doors. If, at any time, you feel you are in danger, pick up the phone and call the police.
The solution is to be a parent. Counseling and parenting classes would be a great place to start (both family counseling and individual). Your child needs to be evaluated for mental health issues and you need help in learning to take control.
I don't claim to have all the answers, but just because you want emancipation to happen doesn't mean it will. I'm sure it sounds like a lovely solution to you because you're free from having to deal with your child and he gets exactly what he wants, but that doesn't mean a judge is going to go along with it.
He simply does not qualify for emancipation no matter how much you think it's the best solution.
the things you suggest are things that have been done. the law does nothing but tell him to straighten up. the other kids in the house are scared of him and don't want to be around. He probably does have mental problems due to his biolog mother but doctor's just keep the attitude that he is a trouble teen and he will grow up one day.
Then change Doctors or counselors! You cant throw your children to the street! What kind of parent would! If hes a danger to other children tell social services. If seems your "options" weigh on how much it will cost you! There is no price too high for your child. Perhaps turning him over for Foster care is option perhaps not. Regardless you have no legal means (other than giving him up) to solve your problem. Have you wrote to Dr. Phil, Oprah, Maury etc. They often air shows for cases like yours. Giving up on your child is not an option. What does that tell the other children!? If they ditch school one day you will drive them out of the house with no cash food or housiing!? Start beinga pest call everyone and anyone seeking help
Okay. But that does not change the fact that legally EMANCIPATION IS NOT AN OPTION. :wallbang:
I am not aware of any state which imposes absolute liability on parents for the wrongful acts of their children.Quote:
