My question involves juvenile law in the State of: ohio. I'm a step dad of 16 year old who has many behavior issues, from sneaking out at night, being out past curfew and just not listening, no matter how many times he is grounded he continually disobeys over and over again. Here recently his mom had to go out of town due to a family emergency so I was stuck in charge trying to keep him in line, which he listened to me even less being just the step dad who has only been in the picture for two years now, which now the wife is mad at me now cause she thought I could do more to keep him in check while she was gone. My question is being that I'm married to his mom, if she is ever out of town again, and he continuely disregards my authority could I press unruly charges on him if his mother is out of town? If not is there anything that could be done to keep him in line?
