[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 219996, member: 1550"] First of all, for some reason I think you said your son is 17. Please forgive me if he is younger. This post is assuming he is an older teen--16 or 17. Ok, here goes. Why did you let your child stay there? I would have made him come home. I always have trouble understanding your posts, so I am going to assume that this is a sick lady who doesn't take care of her children. I agree that I wouldn't count on her to take care of yours. If you call the police, I'm not sure what they will do since your teen is 17. He is still a minor, but I found they don't really care that much about kids that are so close to 18, but maybe I'm wrong. The problem in my opinion is with your son. He isn't listening to you. And at 17 if he doesn't want to listen to you, I don't know how you can make him do it. Did you ever tell him that if you doesn't obey your rules in your house that he will have to leave home when he is 18? What do you do when your son disregards your wishes? in my opinion this problem is with your son and you, not with the neighbor. Not trying to be harsh, but at your son's age, you have to work some issues out with him. If he is going to defy you all the time, are you going to allow him to live at home? Does he have a job? Do you pay for all of his expenses? I'm not really clear on what is wrong with your son or what you do about it when he doesn't listen to you. Frankly, I'd take it up with him first, then deal with her afterward. Now if he is a younger teen, I think, even more, you should have traipsed over there and brought him home and grounded him big time. JMO and take care :) [/QUOTE]
