    Default Quite Concerned About the Help We Get

    I just want to say I'm quite concerned with the help that we get from these so called " EXPERTS " when we ask for help for our rebellious teens. I've been searching for hours on the internet for help with our situation. All we get is answers like " legally you cannot kick your child out till they are 18" or " try this {PROFESSIONAL) or that doctor ". This all sounds like a joke to me. You people don't seem like experts to me. The only answers I'm finding is that we need to deal with our crazy teens ourself because we are the parents, it's our responsibilty. Yes, it was us the parents who allowed our children to go this way, we aren't perfect. But should we go through life allowing our children to do all this bad behaviour to us (speaking of our problem and other peoples problems) All we are asking is for " PROFESSIONAL HELP " Whats funny, if we were to abuse our children, something will happen, the children would have a place to go and we would go to jail. But without the abuse, we ask for the child welfare to take them and they won't. Do we have to abuse them to get help?
    Where is the "PROFESSIONAL" help there?

    Also, how can you people call yourself experts when all you are doing is following a book (law books) Thats the problem with you professionals, you read some books and call yourselves experts. You go by the book instead of looking at lifes unique situations and leave us hanging with no answers.
    Have you people sat there and took some of the crap thats these teens give to us with your children? I'm sure some of you have and it worked out for you, but every situation is different and it doesn't always work for everyone.

    I think its time you people live up to your title and start giving parents advice instead of leaving us hanging in frustration.

    Notice the name of the site.... www.EXPERTLAW.com.

    Therefore, we respond in a legal manner.

    If you want emotional help, you are in the wrong place.

    One more thing... I am also the parent of two kids... one a teenager.

    And I haven't beaten or thrown either of them out.

    And they lived happily ever after !! Oh !! Another thing, going by the book doesn't make you an expert. With your response to my post proves to me what I was saying. Sure this is an EXPERT LAW site but if you had any compassion you could see that yes Im seeking answers and Im in the wrong site so you could have directed me to the right answers instead of defending yourself. At least thats what I figured a professional would do. Im not a professional.

    Im not a professional
    I am. And how lucky for you...no charge for the service.

    I will also say that I understand your frustration. The legal system is designed to protect the child and NOT the parent. The difference being, your an adult and are responsible for your actions. Your child however, is NOT legally allowed to make decisions on their own. I've seen a GROWING number of DV happen to parents from their children. The problem isn't something that anyone on this site created and if you don't like the answers, sorry that you got advice you didn't like.

    This site is for legal help as cyjeff pointed out. If your rebellious teen has gotten themself in trouble, you were given correct legal answers.
    All we get is answers like " legally you cannot kick your child out till they are 18" or " try this {PROFESSIONAL) or that doctor ". This all sounds like a joke to me.
    THOSE ARE LEGAL ANSWERS and the correct ones! Your forgetting the one about...get a lawyer. And I have to add that if you think all of this is a joke, you will NOT have the last laugh, the joke will be on you.
    You people don't seem like experts to me. The only answers I'm finding is that we need to deal with our crazy teens ourself because we are the parents, it's our responsibilty. Yes, it was us the parents who allowed our children to go this way, we aren't perfect.
    ??? What do we seem like? People who are knowledgeable of the law and are willing to volunteer their time to help people in need out? No, that can't be it, it's too obvious. No one is perfect. But personally, I don't feel that my tax dollars should have to go to pay for your deliquent or out of control teen. And professionally speaking, most out of control teens were out of control children! You yourself said you allowed it to happen. It's not so funny now is it?
    we ask for the child welfare to take them and they won't
    Of course they won't and why should they? Because your fed up? There are PLENTY of places to get your child help, why are you refusing? Start with the school, where your tax dollars are hard at work. Then with a counselor....and even if you don't have insurance, you can get your kid help, I know better so don't try and feed me any lines on this one.
    You go by the book instead of looking at lifes unique situations and leave us hanging with no answers.
    There's always Oparh or Dr Phil. (and they both have websites) Thats not what this site if for.
    Have you people sat there and took some of the crap thats these teens give to us with your children? I'm sure some of you have and it worked out for you, but every situation is different and it doesn't always work for everyone.
    Almost have. Except my kids know who's in charge and always have. If they break the rules they lose privilages and I mean ALL of them. NO TV, cell phone, computer, Wii, anything and EVERYTHING and the chores suddenly triple. They know that my house and my rules are better than my dog house.
    I think its time you people live up to your title and start giving parents advice instead of leaving us hanging in frustration.
    How's this:
    You have to teach them when their young. Spank them when they climb on counters. Slap their hand when they touch the stove. Teach them manners...please, thank you, hello and goodbye. Should I go on or this that enough?
