[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 61536, member: 3626"] I think you have to do what is right for you, your family and your son. I doubt you can kick him out legally at 16. Even if on the streets, you'd still be responsible. You could try filing a CHINS (Child in Need of Services) for your son, especially in light of the recent shoplifting charge. That might get you some help. Possible an out-of-home placement like a group home, foster home or, possibly, an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Before considering a mental hospital, you probably should get him tested to try to find out what you are dealing with. It may be the typical teen garbage, it may be much worse but you won't know without the evaluations. I'm sure someone will come along to help you with this. In the meantime, welcome and good luck in your quest. [/QUOTE]
