    Child Under Mom's House Arrest
    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: ky

    My brother recently came out to our parents that he is bisexual and now they will not allow him to leave the house except to school. he is not allowed to go anywhere nor speak to anyone barely. they repeatedly state that they disown him and call him derogatory names. He has been on depression pills for awhile and has already threatened to kill himself.my brother is 26 and would like to have custody of him. how would we go about that?

    Is your brother disabled? Why would your parents have custody of him if he is 26? He is an adult.

    Tell him to grow up and move out.

    If I'm reading her correctly, she's saying she has one brother who is of high school-ish age and another brother who is 26.

    Teenagers not always being clear writers and all.

    I am sorry for not being clear. the brother this concerns is 16 the one who wants custody 26. I usually am more clear but I was very upset when I posted that.

    Then you are really going to be upset now.

    No judge in any jurisdiction will force a parent to allow a child to associate with someone that parent does not wish their minor child to associate with.

    your parents win.

    is there anyway that any kind of abuse could be proven because I mean my brother pays the bills most of the time and if he doesn't the power gets cuts off and if he is already on medicine and he threatens suicide and they encourage it? I just feel like i am in such a corner

    If he is being abused, call child protective services.

    However, nothing you describe will approach abuse.

    I would think it would be considered mental abuse. If the parents are if I understand correctly is telling him to commit suicide and calling him names and saying they disown him. You can't treat your own child that way. I would call Social Services and see what they say about it. Best intrests of the child is what should be looked at here. And clearly being in a home and being mentally abused is not in the best intrest of any child.

    And where did you get your mental health degree? Further, you really feel comfortable in a diagnosis via internet board?

    First, we are hearing all this third hand.

    Secondly, it sounds that, more accurately, the little drama kid is threatening to suicide if mom and dad doesn't do what he wants and they are saying, "Go ahead...." to show that he won't win.

    Happens all the time. Not abuse.

    Post statute that backs this up please. I don't see where parents have to give into teen age drama or lose their child.

    Oh stop.

    There isn't any evidence of mental abuse here except what a very unhappy teenager tells a ear willing to listen to everything.

    I suggested calling child protective services. They will investigate.

    Mom and Dad, however, do NOT have to let Sonny start dating ANYONE, much less men. Period, end of story.
