[1305haynie]

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: georgia

Hi, i am 15 about to turn 16 in June .
I am not in school i havent been to school since 7th grade because i was unruly and my parents gave up and never put me back in. I dont know why nobody has noticed and nothing has been done but it. It is too late to get back in school without anyone getting in ttrouble. So i need to get my ged so i can get a job but considering my circumstances i dont know if i,will,qaulify to get my ged. Do i need,to get emancipated first? Can i get emancipated? I need a job first, but cant get a job without having my ged. My parents dont have custody of me, my aunt does, not a good environment i moved out at the age of 12. I live with my boyfriend of 3 years but i know thats,not reliable Enough. Does anybody have any advice for me. Do i have,to wait until im 18 to start my life and get a job? What can i do? My auny doesnt even have a,place to live she goes from,hotel to hotel she doesnt have a job. If i got emancipated would it even help me? What can i do? Im 15 living on my own,cant go back home,cant go back to school,cant get emancipated,cant get my ged. Im in a pickle and,i dont know what to do but wait until im 18. But what if me and my,boyfriend break up? Then what? He has taken,care of me for 3 years. Please any advice will help.

I live with my boyfriend of 3 years but i know thats,not reliable Enough.

And quite possibly illegal.

No, you are not eligible for emancipation. Georgia makes it nigh on impossible as it is. With your situation, it just isn't going to happen.

Frankly, it's a shame nobody in your life was enough of an adult to involve protective services in your case.

Read this thread. You do not meet the requirements for emancipation.

Yes it is a shame, but i didnt post this for people to tell me whats wrong, i already know whats wrong. What i am trying to figure out is what do i do now? Also, protective services is not always the aanswer. I have already been in foster care for about 2 years all it did was scar me. But thats a whole different conversation. I need advice on what to do NOW. Not what should have been done.

Sorry you're not getting the rosey answers you wanted. You seem to entirely misunderstand emancipation. As Mr. K points out, emancipation is NOT an option for you. Emancipation is not the procedure for getting people out of alleged abusive situations. We don't turn children out on their own in such cases, we find alternative custody. Yes, foster care ain't as nice as being shacked up with your boyfriend, but that situation is FAR from healthy as well.

The options are to talk to some responsible person, try your school counselor or the DFCS (see here http://dfcs.dhs.georgia.gov/child-abuse-neglect). Do not expect them to agree that your current situation is acceptable.

Looking for a way to fix the problem with no one getting in trouble? Sorry, not going to happen. SOMEONE is going to get in trouble - someone that is not you. Whether it's your parents, your boyfriend, your boyfriend's family, your aunt, your foster parents, or even CPS, this situation isn't going to get fixed without someone being on the carpet. I'm not necessarily talking about criminal charges - I'm not necessarily talking about legal charges at all. But if you're looking for a solution that will allow everyone involved to walk away unscathed, there isn't one.

There is no possible chance, even in your wildest dreams, of your being emancipated.

So, with all that said, I am asking this in all seriousness. I'm not yelling at you or being sarcastic - I'm looking for a starting place to get you some help. Understanding what I've said above is not going to change and you're going to have to live with that, what, in your opinion, of all the second-best solutions would be the best possible one?

Frankly, its a shame that everybody wants to tell me what i should have done or tell me that i need to go to DFACS. Its a shame society thinks they know whats best for me after reading a paragraph about my situation. Its a shame that everyone would rather
That nobody is giving me actualy helpful advice and are judging me instead. Thabks for your SO HELPFUL input, but no thanks.

Thank for coming to the show everybody. But now the show is ending. Hope you enjoyed it, no faith in humanity restored.

Of course, if you'd answered my question, you might have gotten some helpful advice. Which makes me wonder how much you really needed or wanted it.

Point taken, Doggie.

It's a shame that you thought you were posting to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter where, instead of telling you what the law is, we would wave our magic wands and make it so that the law doesn't apply to you. But alas, we're stuck in the real world.
