    Default Having a Minor Stay the Night

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Indiana

    Ok this may not even be the right place for this question but it's the best fit I could find.

    Ok here it is:
    I am 20. My gf is 17 turning 18 soon.
    Well I live at home with my sister, her kids and my father. My sister has been taking care of me(food-wise and all) bcuz my father is gone and just doesn't care. Ok, see my father still pays the bills for the household.
    Now see I had my gf stay the night even though my sister didn't want it. She says that CPS can take her kids away for that even though I don't believe this is true.
    It is my decision and my responsibility I would be the one to take full punishment for any thing happening that didn't effect the kids, wouldn't I?
    Like it was fine with my gf's mother for her to stay.

    My gf staying the night has no effect for my sister or her kids does it? Even if I were arrested for anything sexual, or anything like that? I mean I don't see how it would if it were in my room and my room only. It doesn't endanger the kids or anything.

    Please Settle this for me. I need to know.

    Thnx~ThatOneGuy

    If I were your sister, I would kick your sorry posterior to the curb.

    You're in her house; you should show her a modicum of respect and not have minors spend the night.

    Your sister cares about her children. You don't? Then move out.

    And yes, there are circumstances where your refusal to obey her simple house rule could put her custody of her kids in jeopardy.

    The moderator answered your question. YES it can put her children in jeapory BOTTOM LINE. Your 20 your sister pays for your food you father pays the bills maybe if you dont like the way things are you could always go get a job and move, then you and your gf can live happily ever after.

    Certain circumstances doesn't answer anything...I knew this already...But me getting arrested for having sexual relations(If I would to be found guilty of it.) to a 'minor' won't do shit to her or her kids will it?
    fyi I've been having a lot of trouble lately I just got out of the mental clinic man.....I'm appreciative of everything my sister has done and I've done every little ****ing thing she's wanted/needed me to do and this one ****ing thing that I did to make her mad is gonna piss her off enough to completely **** my life over...Yea, that's a good sister right?/sarcasm

    Then you're also smart enough to know that your sister knows her circumstances, and as of yet you've given us no reason to doubt that she's 100% correct. Quite obviously, we only know what you've told us. All you want to hear is "It's okay for you to ignore house rules and have sex with minors under your sister's watch?" Well, you're not going to hear it from responsible adults.

    Sleeping with minors under her watch and putting her custody of her kids in danger is not a "little ****ing thing". Get a job, and get your own place or rent motel rooms for your trysts.

    >>It is my decision and my responsibility I would be the one to take full punishment for any thing happening that didn't effect the kids, wouldn't I?
    Like it was fine with my gf's mother for her to stay.

    Yes, it will affect the kids. I didn't get this fact through my thick head till I was in my mid 20's. I live at home with my folks, didn't have to pay room and board, and my brother who was 10 year younger, wanted to do everything I did, including staying out to 3:00AM in the morning. I cannot tell a 12 year old to close his eyes, and I cannot reason with a 12 year old, in a hurry to grow up, that a 12 year old cannot do everything a 22 year old is permitted to do.

    BTW, I finally got my own place to live, and I can stay out as late as I wanted, but I had to pay my own room and board.

    I have 2 daughters, the older on age 12 now, that thinks she has a boyfriend, and maybe he can stay over. Thank goodness she does not have a older 20 year old brother with a 17 year old girlfriend and is going to say to me "see dad, he's doing it too".

    That is why it is NOT advisable, say, for grownups to watch porno in the presence of children, and then say "punish me, it DID NOT affect the kids.

    >>She says that CPS can take her kids away for that even though I don't believe this is true.

    Here we go again. You're saying "there's NO LAW against it".

    Put it this way, there's no laws against a lot of things, but it doesn't make it right. My brother in law's BABY brother is 50 years old, never worked in his entire life, with his mom making his car payments, insurance payments, and him writing checks to himself on mom's account to booze. Now, mom has Alzheimers and my BIL has to go find a lawyer because his baby brother was either too drunk or lazy to bring mom to the hospital, on numerous occasions, the last time when she fell and broke her arm.

    The baby brother said "it is not true" he broke any laws. In the old days, we call people like this "lazy bums", but nowadays, we all have to hit the law library to find a law he in fact violated. He did not want mom going to a nursing home, to sell the family home to pay for it, because he'll be out on the street. HOW UNFAIR.

    Knowitall:
    I didn't ever say I did have sex with her. I said if I were to be found guilty of a sexual act or w/e bcuz all she would have to say is that I tried to rape her and I'd be doing time for something or other...
    Certain circumstances such as me BUILDING BOMBS in the house would endanger her kids and give a reason for CPS to be taking the kids. Me bringing a PEDAFILE into the house would be another reason for CPS to take the kids...Multiple reasons...yes...but this one reason?
    "It's okay for you to ignore house rules and have sex with minors under your sister's watch?"
    She may be providing me food but I'm still an adult that can make his own decisions...If I were to be sent to jail for the 'sex with minors' thing then it wouldn't effect the kids from a legal stand-point would it? Besides the obvious I may then be technically called a sex offender...or something of that nature...

    Chin:
    I mean effect the kids in a legal manner, such as CPS taking the kids. Me and her have been in our room all day before and my sister didn't say a thing. She's actually being hypocritical when she's telling me not to let her spend the night; cuz there is no difference in day and night except for at night we'll actually be sleeping...

    I'm not trying to be hard headed on this even though it may seem that way I'm trying to understand the legal matter here...
    I've tried to give as much detail as I can...

    Here is a simple way to look at it. You are an adult, your girlfriend is a minor, if for some reason you get prosecuted for sleeping with her that makes you a sex offender. Sex offenders are not allowed to reside in a house with children generally speaking. Your sister is another adult in the house aware of the minor girlfriend sleeping over and that would mean she allowed a crime to happen with her children in the home yes cps would be all over that. It shows cps that your sister knowing allowed a crime to happen to a minor so who is to say she wouldn't knowing fail to protect her own children?
