16 Year Old Son, Out Of Control In Florida

I have a 16 yr old son, he is currently a run away. He wants to be emancipated but I'm sure the courts would say no. The police called the other night (4:30 am) and said come pick up your son, he was caught breaking into cars! On the way home, he jumps out at the red light. So, he ran again! It has been one problem after another with him!!! Without going into to much detail of the past eight years,my question is, since he can't be emancipated can I give up parental rights and let his grandparents have him? Yes, they want him, and no we don't get along. They are the parents of the ex-wife. He doesn't want to live in my house under my rules and the mom (ex-wife) is in prison. Is there a way I can do this and not pay child support? I have supported him alone from day one, with no help? He doesn't want to live with me and my rules, I don't want to pay for him to sit on his butt and party at the ex-in laws!! Please help, I really don't know what to do with him!! And please don't say counseling, been there done that, many, many times!!!! Like I said, we are eight years into this, now what?

Why would you do this do his Grandparents? What you need to do is seek help from Socail Services. Boot camp is also an option. Giving up parental rights is not likely going to be approved.

What do you mean---
"Why would you do this do his Grandparents?" They want us to hand him over, they hide him and refuse to tell us OR the police where he is whenever he runs away!!!! And we have dealt with social services-NO HELP. And we did the boot camp thing - twice! Like I said we been at this for years.:wallbang:

Hi, I was wondering if someone could answer my questions?:wallbang:
Thanks

You don't get to walk away from your parental responsibilities. If you send your child off to live with your ex-in-laws, they can seek child support.

I hear your pain hitech...and I get that you don't want him at the ex's parents house...they enabled your wife enough that she got a prison sentence..
You can't send him there either way without paying child support.

What has the court system been able to do for you? I assume he has had some run in's
Have you tried medication and has he been diagnosed with any disorders?
Are drugs an issue?
I'm asking bc there are programs out there that can help but more on his background would be more helpful and less time consuming for me. If you feel uncomfortable posting please feel free to send me a private message and it's off your post anyway.
Hang in there!
