Ok now I am a mother of a teenager. Who instead of bringing home stray animals brings home stray teenagers.
For 2 weeks this kid has snuck in and out to sleep.
Finally I talked to him. He was thrown out of his home in Dec.
His mother died 3 years ago. Father abusive, and has had a long history of it, but always avoided losing the kids by going through the motions.
After he went after this kids sister one to many times, this kid went after him defending her. He has been on the streets ever since. I talked to the local police, who's advice, make sure he isn't a run away. And here is a pamplet.
Ok so he's not a runaway. Verified it. His siblings on their way to NC to live wiht a relative, and he doesn't want to go.
If I report the abuse or his situation...they want to go after dad, and he goes to foster care? Nice option. Now he is just shy of 18, so there are no other options for these kids? He has also be diasnosed with several disabilities, PTSD , anxiety sleeping & eating disorders.
Anything in the laws for this kid, except putting him in an already over taxed system, where he will probably just run again? I don't mind him staying here. But I can't get him medical help or anything? Can his father release him?
Can I file for some type of guardianship if the father agrees?
I mean he apparently could care less, he's been on the streets for months?
