[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 142765, member: 179"] Sorry so late in the reply. My personal experience is that they will NOT enforce abandoment charges on a teen of that age. J was smart. He'd run away, then turn himself into the local fire department. They'd call the cops and bring him home. Finally, (and I think he was only about 15 at the time), I said NO when they brought him to the door. They threatened arrestment. I held out my wrists and said, "Take me in. It's better than living in this h*ll." The two cops looked at each other and kind of shrugged. They see it all the time. They took J to juvie. It was literally this event that got him the minimal help he needed. Also, I stopped going to court with him. Heck, I would have lost my job for downtime. He was a big boy...do it on your own. Take responsibility. I don't think there is any law that a parent has to be present. Good luck with this. Abbey [/QUOTE]
