[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 40007, member: 3527"] Every state is different, but in Illinois, I know that a kid with a record like that at 17 is not a candidate for CPS either. They pretty much let them be as adults if they are on their own at 17. If he isn't willing to accept the advice or help he is being given, there isn't much you can do. If he truly does choose to live on the streets, he won't be very neat and clean, nor will he really have an opportunity to do a lot for your daughter, so all you can do is hope and pray that she can keep herself from getting sucked in, and maybe she will get bored with having the dirty boyfriend who can't take care of her and she will move on.... Or possibly if they really DO love each other, maybe the fear of losing her will prompt him to get his act together..... Don't get me wrong, I feel for the kid that his parents kicked him out, but seriously, if he is being offered help and refuses to take it... it has to be tough love then and I have a hard time being sympathetic towards someone that HAS options and refuses to accept any of them.
