My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: California
My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: California
This is neither child abuse or neglect, it is parenting provided the GF is under 18. If they don't want you talking, you would be best to honor their wishes.
I was threatened to be pressed charges for talking to my girlfriend who is 17 and im 18 were only 2 months apart.
Reason is she lied to her parents anout having a boyfriend and caught her lying so they took her phone away. A week later she was going to get her phone back until her father invaded her privacy and saw our messages.
Of course these messages were something no parent should ever see, it confirmed that we had physical relations but keep in mind i was 17 when this all happened as in having sex with her and doing other things i wish not talk about.
But the last time i saw her was when i was about to turn 18 which was in November after that i moved about 60 miles away from her and thats when the incident happened of her getting caught about us being together because we would talk on the phone more frequently because we lived far apart from each other .. then a week later her father saw the messages. And well flipped on her and told her to never talk to me i could understand that this may be heart breaking to a parent. But just recently i went to go show my face at her house and well apologize for what they read. My girlfriends mother was the only one home at the time but she told me to not do things behind her back and that if i continue to talk to her daughter secretly that she will press charges on me. In about 4 days my girlfriend will be 18
So what I'm asking is that if i am really liable to be pressed charges especially now that their daughter will be 18.
She can report it to the police. Until your GF is 18, her parents run her life. After she is 18, she'd better follow her parents' rules if she is living under their roof.
I would stay away from them for the time being. Out of sight, out of mind.
So theres nothing i can do but wait for them or her... lets say if one day she is fed up that she cant talk to me because im obeying her mothers demands and she ends up running off where i live. . Can they hold anything against me since she will be 18
After she's 18, she can go anywhere she wants. She has no obligation to remain in her parents home, and they have no responsibility to pay a single dime towards her support.
As long as she is even one minute under the age of 18, however, or over 18 and living in her parents home and accepting their support, what they say goes. Period.
I know that. Parents rules matter. But In no way do i want to be pressed charges especially for trying to be there for their daughter after all the stress and problems
Then you'd better be prepared to follow her parents' rules for her as long as she's a minor/being supported by them, huh?
Yes she is supported by them, very spoiled . But she does work for herself as well. So when she turns 18 am i allowed to talk to her even if the parents don't approve
In general, TALKING to her would not be a crime. If you took other actions such as encouraging her to runaay or disobey her parents then you might be able to be charged with a crime. But, simply talking to her would not be a crime in and of itself.
Yeah, parents sometimes do that. I often told my children that the 4th Amendment did not exist in our home. They had no right to privacy. When the girl reaches age 18 and lives on her own, THEN she can have all the privacy the law might permit her. Until then, she gets that which her parents allow her.Reason is she lied to her parents anout having a boyfriend and caught her lying so they took her phone away. A week later she was going to get her phone back until her father invaded her privacy and saw our messages.
Underage sexual intercourse is a misdemeanor in CA ... even if you are both underage. Doing other stuff could be a felony. You may want to tread carefully lest mom and dad contact the police regarding your inappropriate activities.Of course these messages were something no parent should ever see, it confirmed that we had physical relations but keep in mind i was 17 when this all happened as in having sex with her and doing other things i wish not talk about.
The state has 3 years to commence prosecution for felonies and one year for misdemeanors. No one can say whether the state would act on mom and dad's reports, but, they could.My girlfriends mother was the only one home at the time but she told me to not do things behind her back and that if i continue to talk to her daughter secretly that she will press charges on me. In about 4 days my girlfriend will be 18
So what I'm asking is that if i am really liable to be pressed charges especially now that their daughter will be 18.
When your girl is 18 she can move out of mom and dad's house with whatever they allow her to take with her and the two of you can cuddle to your heart's content paying your way however you can (hopefully not on welfare and not with a baby). Even if she is 18, she will have to abide by mom and dad's rules or risk being tossed out on her ear. That's her decision to make.
