[QUOTE="Lil, post: 645549, member: 17309"] Yes, your only real recourse in Missouri when a kid is 17 is to have them declared uncontrollable, taken into juvie and placed in foster care or a group home. (Which would certainly make a kid love you to pieces.) Also, you'd have to pay support to the state and that could last to age 21, even if the kid isn't in school, so long as they're in the system. So, obviously, if they are 17 and you are having problems that aren't life-threatening, you're better off to try to handle it yourself. At 17 for criminal law purposes, they [B]are[/B] an adult here. But they can't sign a contract or buy a car or rent an apartment, etc., until 18 and the parent's can't kick them out, or it's child abandonment or neglect. You basically can have an person charged or convicted of an adult crime that you are responsible for supporting. Craziness. Well see on the testing. I doubt he'll do it. He takes VERY great offense to a suggestion that he isn't "normal". One thing at a time...we have a crime to deal with first. Hopefully we will receive a police report soon and can get a look at that. [/QUOTE]
