[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 156805, member: 3626"] One thing you really need to check is the statutory rape laws in your state. In some, a 17 YO male with a 14 YO female can be charged, especially if the parents of the girl insist. I'm trying to figure out how her parents didn't know there was a boy in their daughter's bedroom. That's just incredible to me. As to calling the police, I agree you did the right thing. You need it for a paper trail for you and it may ultimately get you some help even though that's not as likely since he's almost at the age of majority. Is there any incentive you can use to get him to go to school? For my daughter, it was the simple threat that if she quit school she was going to have to work and pay rent with no ifs, ands or buts. Going through the almost adult attitudes is no fun. They really do think they are entitled to all the rights of adulthood with none of the responsibilities. It even gets worse if they are 18 and still in school. You have my sincere sympathies. [/QUOTE]
