My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Missouri.
Well, a couple weeks ago, before christmas, i pretty much moved out of my mother's house with my eight month old child.
The reason i left, is because my mother and i got in a fight, not an argument, a real fight. She was on top of me with my child sitting next to me, and i had to defend myself as well as my child. The house she is living in, isn't her's, and has heat in only one room, and no bedroom for myself or my child. we also have no beds, or anything. I only eat when i'm at school, i'm fifteen. I moved in with my friend, and her family and we spent the holidays with them, she didn't buy my daughter or myself anything, and i wouldn't expect her to buy me anything, but i expect her to buy my daughter something. My friend's family bought us gifts, and has food for us. I have a bed of my own, a crib for my baby, and was doing fine. Then my daughter ran out of diapers and wipes, and was low on formula. I messaged my mother asking for her assitance and her exact words were "You need to put your big girl panties on and figure it out yourself." She's since told me that she's not paying for food, diapers, wipes, or daycare. I have found a way to get all of them on my own, and now she is threatening to call the police and report me as a runaway. My friend's mother wants to look into fostering me and my child, is there any way the police wouldn't force me to go back to a home that's cold, no food, no bed?
