My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Minnesota.
Here is the story.
I have a friend, who is 15. Her grandma was Diagnosed with cancer [who my friend is staying with]. And her Aunt wants my friend wants to move to here she is at, which is a few hours away from her grandma and her home. she just found out yesterday and is being forced to leave either tonight or tomorrow morning.
Her Aunt will not let her stay with her grandmother and have my friend take care of her grandma. My friend really wants to stay with her grandma, or at least in the city. [There are no other family members that would be able to take her in.]
I need to figure out what to do exactly, Me (17) and my boyfriend (18) are doing researching right now and we need to find resources and help on what to do. At the very least find a way for her to stay here and have time to get prepared and have everything settled and find her a place to stay until she is either of age or her grandma can watch over her legally.
Our only options right now are:
1) to find a shelter that will take her in now.
2) for her to run away and turn herself into a shelter that will take her in or JV.
[If the "Runaway and Homeless Youth Act" or something like it exists in Minnesota that would help, I looked it up and it doesn't look too promising]
If anyone has anyother idea or helpful info that would be very helpful.
