[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 708796, member: 18958"] A few words before turning off the light: stay strong. It depends upon what the law says where you live. In the USA where I live at 18 there is no legal responsibility for parents. 17 is the age in Canada. On the one hand the authorities will be more motivated to provide the treatment and secure placement he needs--if you do not take him. But you may get into trouble if the law where you are says you are responsible until he turns 18. And this could put your younger child at risk of being taken from your home. There are threads about this if you do a search. In the past few weeks a mom was in a similar situation and she got threatened that her other kids would be taken from home. The situation was different as the older child I believe made allegations. But still, they have power over the other younger kids, if there is any suspicion in the family. That would be my concern. Will check back tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
