    Government Housing for Me and My Baby
    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Texas

    ok so im 16 years old..and have a 4 month old baby.
    my parents have no rights to me and i havnt seen them in years..
    my guardian after fostercare after my mom abandoned me [i was 11] was the father of my half sister..and we didnt get along and he was very verbally abusive..so he took me to move w/ my "aunt".[ "family friend"]
    i was there for a year almost..she had some stress issues and was bipolar..plus shes about 60..and we had some issues and didnt get along.
    she kicked me out...and when i left she reported me a runaway. then, when she admitted to kicking me out i was taken off the list as a runaway. after staying w/ a friend for a while my guardian got upset at some rumor and made me go back to my aunt. and all this time was not letting me see my baby half sister..which was and is still upsetting.
    anyways i was back w/ my aunt again for a couple of months..then she started to act the same again & was stil threatning to call my sisters father n tell him i was "acting up"..which scared me b/c he told me that if he ever heard that i was "misbehaving" or just not getting along w/her that he would send me to a mental hospital or a orphanage type place. im not crazy but hes never liked me and hates my mom and said he would make up things to make me seem crazy..which he has tried to tell the police that the reason he didnt want me living w/him waas b/c i "tried to hurt my sister"
    i love her so much like my own cuz i basically had to raise her even when she was w/him cuz he used me as a bbysitter...and for him to say i wanna hurt her is so wrong. plus she was 4 when i moved out of his house..now shes 6 n i havnt seen her since he took me to live w/ my aunt.
    well like i said sh kept threatning again so i got scared and left w/ my boyfriend. [i wasnt pregnant yet]
    then after about 4-5 months of being gone i finally was on the list as a runaway on the internet.
    i got pregnant about 3 months after living w/ my bf.
    well now my baby is 4 months and im 16 and i tlked to my aunt who i used to live w/and she seems like she wants to help...and told me shes sorry and just wants to help me be happy, and i havnt been to school in forever and since she wants to help i was talking to her about government housing for me,my baby, and maybe my bf.
    this cop shes friends w/ says i just have to meet up w/them and show i have a plan to be taken off the runaway list, and what i thinl is best is for me & my baby & maybe her father to have an apt. by government housing. i know for this i have to be going to school and have a job which is fine for me and my bf. we just think this would be the best option. our room at w/his parents is getting smaller w/ the baby growing and we really need our own place.
    ive heard of co-signing by a guardian or adult that knows you for government housing to happen....since am a minor.
    anyone know more about this and can help me out??
    btw the man that was my guardian hasnt tlked to my aunt or anyone in more than a year and hes no longer my gaurdian..my aunt is. [well at least thats what she says]

    so anyone able to help me w/this??

    ??????????

    So what you think is best is that the taxpayers shell out to support you?

    Your question being what?

    Your post doesn't clearly indicate your present living arrangements, those of your baby, or whether you're a ward of the state. Please fill us in, then state a clear question. Thanks.

    u obviously dont know...PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES. especilly teens.
    don't judge me.

    and to aaron,
    me and my baby are w/ her grandparents.[my m.i.l&f.i.l]..
    its fine its just the more my bay grows and the more stuff she gets, the smaller our room gets. plus theres too many kids here and theyre all unruly and i dont want my bay around that either. me and her father just need own place. things would be alot better. then also we could actually tlk w/o ppl butting in etc.
    and i dont think im a ward of the state im pretty sure my sisters father isnt my guardian anymore and my aunt is. and she wants to do what im comfortable w/ trying.

    That is not a valid reason for a couple of teenagers to shack up on the taxpayer's dime.

    Yes, people make mistakes. But that doesn't mean that the government (i.e. the taxpayers) should pay to fix them.

    What a selfish little beast you are. And don't tell me not to judge you - you gave me permission to do so when you chose to post on a public site.

    Somebody's your guardian, by virtue of a court order. We have no way of investigating that for you. As it stands, your guardian has certain duties to the court that appointed him or her, and it's not at all clear that allowing you to move out would be consistent with those duties. Further, as you have a safe, appropriate place to stay, its unlikely that the state would see any need to intervene in your current home environment to move you out, whether to a foster home or (assuming you're eligible, they have funding, and they deem you to be of sufficient maturity) to an independent residence.

    ok number one CBG, im not selfish. and i know the government shouldnt pay to fix my mistake..but damn they have that kind of program for a reason dont they?!
    i dont have to get into detail..im asking a simple question..can i, being 16 w/o parents, and having a baby, apply for public housing?
    and yes
    i have a valid reason. i want to move out also bcuz of personal reasons also...
    i didnt ask for you to talk crap..im asking for a reasonable answer. [help]
    and yes i did post my story on here making it open for ppl to judge me but that doesnt mean they should.. especially when you dont understand what kind of a life ive had. ive skipped alot of details in my story and i shouldnt have to put the personal things just so a judgemental butthead like u can come and try to put me down or judge me not help me.
    this site wasnt created for you to respond to my story&questions like you know it all about me... you dont, so stop jumping to conclusions.
    and to aaron..
    my BF's family's house is not exactly the best environment..
    i shouldnt exactly have to say everything on here do i? i just wana know will i be able to get public housing untill me and my BF are good on our feet and can pay for ourselves? i will e in school & working. i have my reasons as to why i need it..some are personal, and others ive already shared w/you.
    i really would like to know how i can do this and if i would be able to.
    thnks.

    Yes, those programs exist for a reason. They are there for people who have lost their jobs and are unable to find new ones. They are there for people whose homes have been destroyed in hurricanes or tornados or floods. They are there for people who have no other options. They are NOT there for teenage runaways who didn't have enough sense to keep from getting pregnant and don't appreciate the help they're already being given from others, and who now want "their own place" that the government will pay for because what they've already been given isn't good enough for them and they think they deserve better.

    If you TRULY believe that you are eligible for subsidized housing and more deserving of it than someone who, for example, had their home destroyed in an act of God or who, after working for a number of years got laid off with no warning and as such lost their home, then you are as capable of using Google to find the appropriate procedures as we are.
