[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 376212, member: 1169"] Be careful about selling his stuff. Anything he purchased with his own money, anything he owned prior to coming to your home and anything given as a gift belong to him. You can lock it all up and forbid him access to it until he is 18 but in some states, you can get in trouble for getting rid of his stuff. When he says that he is not coming home, you need to tell him that you expect him home by curfew. When he is not home by curfew, call the police and file a runaway report (get a copy of the report every time). When he is violent, call the police, every time. When you find drugs/weapons in his room, call the police, every time. Once you have a large collection of these reports, ask the police to arrest him on an incorrigiblity charge (or whatever they call it in your state), this will get you in front of a judge - the judge has the authority to order him back into CPS's care. This will not terminate your rights and you will be expected to pay child support (or if you have a subsidy, you will lose that as it will be taken as child support). [B][SIZE="4"]Locking him out can cost you ALL of your other children -- adopted, bio and foster. [/SIZE][/B] If you let us know what state you are in, someone here may be more familiar with their services. [/QUOTE]
