[QUOTE="sstick0529, post: 537728, member: 14828"] Here are a few more details that will help everyone out. We are currently in SC and he is 5 months from his 18th birthday. He has acquired his GED while being in a treatment program. He is in this program for being ruled incorrigable. Te law in this states that if a 17yo is found incourrigable that the parents may refuse to provide him with anything, but Dept Of Juvenile Justice (Department of Juvenile Justice) is stating that due to a court order (where we were not allowed to speak) this says he must reside in our home until probation is completed. He makes the people think the problem is us, and that we treat him unfairly. Yet he refuses to work or doing anything around the house. He says why work, he can just steal what he wants. We have spoken to an attorney and been told they can charge us with contempt of court, but they refuse to do it. We have spoken to DSS department of Social Services and they say if we allow him in our home, they can take the other children under "failure to provide a safe environment" and that if we allow him into the home and other children get hurt they can charge us with neglect. We don't want to hurt this child, but we can NOT handle him, and with his fathers health going down daily due to diabetes I can NOT handle him at all. We love him, but it seems this damage was done when the mother took him from the father without permission, and now no one seems to know how to "un do" what ever was done to him. He blames his father for his life, and his dad looked and did everything he could. Eventually after 5 years of attorneys and private investigators trying to find his son dad ran out of money, but a day never went by that he didn't pray or look online or try something to find him. We don't know what to do, but so many keep telling us we are doing wrong by turning our backs on him and putting him out the family home. [/QUOTE]
