[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 147585, member: 1991"] I wish I could advise you, but I'm just not familiar enough with how it works in y our country. Logically, the thing to do would be to be as honest as necessary with the authorities, who SHOULD (if the world is a decent place) give the boy some say in what to do and where to stay now. The father sounds like he's got a lot of problems and just isn't handling things well, in so many areas of his life. But in all situations where a child's needs have to be weighed against the needs of an adult, the balance should always fall on the side of the child, in my opinion. Good on you for being prepared to step up and help someone. Too often, other people would be too scared of taking on an added responsibility, or of antagonising the parent. I do hope it works out for the boy. Marg [/QUOTE]
