[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 147583"] Wow! I wish I knew how to help you. I commend you for attempting to help him, someone sure needs too. You said you contacted social services? That was a good step. Also, as far as survivors benefits, YES it is the child's money. I know, my kids receive it because of their father dying 3 years ago. It will continue until he turns 18, if he is till in high school at that time, it will continue until he graduates or turns 19 which ever comes first. If he is not living with his father, by law his father should have reported it to social security. Is he totally moved out of father's house? If so, I would follow up with social services, I don't know how it works, but maybe since he has been staying with you, they will let you foster him. I would also ask them what to do about the social security. I don't know if he can as a minor, call them himself and tell them that he hasn't been living in dad's house since such and such a date. I wish you all the best and keep us posted on this. Christy [/QUOTE]
