[QUOTE="keista, post: 450257, member: 11965"] I watched a neighbor family 'allow' this with their child. My current neighbor is in a similar situation because his son was kicked out of school for various reasons. The kid would act out on occasion and this caused school issues. in my opinion the boy is a victim of his own circumstances - he has a difficult child mother and undiagnosed learning/behavioral disabilities. in my opinion it is appalling that a child is allowed to drop out of school WITHOUT parental consent, but parents are still responsible for that child until they are 18. Again a case of politicians making rules that make no practical sense whatsoever. I am not even close to where you are in raising kids, and pray that I am not confronted with HS dropping out issues, but my current opinion is that if you are not going to school, or you are not working, you are not living in my home. I'm already prepping my son with this mantra for AFTER HS. But believe this should also apply for HS aged kids. How to enforce it, I have no clue. I would investigate what options that you have for placement of your son. The most extreme options would be for your son to emancipate himself or you to give up your parental rights. Yes, these are EXTREME, and I hope you can find something, some resource that is more of a middle ground. ((((HUGS))))) positive thoughts of strength out to you in dealing with this. [/QUOTE]
