need info on parents rights in new york state...My 16 year old daughter is out of control. Every few months she runs away from home. She doesnt want to attend school or follow any of the household rules,(which I dont feel are to strict.)
Last Sept. I was told by the school that I would be arrested if she didnt start attending school. I work full time with a very strict attendance policy at work and can not miss to make sure she goes to school. She did start attending, but when I came home yesterday from work she was gone once again. I called the school and let them know she had left the home again. They did inform me that it is my resonsibility to make sure she is in school, and did not show up that day.
Tonight the safe house for runawys in our town called me. She has went there numerous times and she is there once again.
From my understanding there is no emancipation law in ny state. What does a parentdo when they are out of options. I have done everything from having her on a pins pettition to mental health counselling. I love my daughter but I dont know where to turn. What options do I have. I dont feel that I should have to go to jail because she doesnt want to follow the rules of society. Please Help!!!!!
