[QUOTE="witzend, post: 636072, member: 99"] I can't disagree with a single thing that dstc had to recommend. I think that knowing where she is at I would let her know that for her safety and support - she'll have access to medical care, etc... - I would tell her that it's not because you don't love her or you want her to be in trouble, but you have to report her as a runaway because it is your legal responsibility. When M declared he was going to go live with someone who loved him better than we did, while I was [I]furious[/I] that this woman was such a moron, husband and I also had a (she didn't know it) non-binding agreement written up that said that [I]she[/I] understood that M was in her home against our wishes and that she would not hold us accountable for any damamges incurred while he was residing with her. Now, that [I]could[/I] have protected us if he accidentally set her sofa or kitchen on fire and she sued us, but legally we were still responsible for him anywhere other than her home. Reporting her as a runaway so that she will be a real foster at the foster home protects everyone. Perhaps you could get the foster mom and her together to make this happen? Foster care doesn't have to be shameful. If it is what is working for her, then everyone should support it and she should put a real commitment into it. I suspect she just doesn't want to abide by the foster's rules. With no legal agreement, that's bad news [I]waiting[/I] to happen. [/QUOTE]
