[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 178446, member: 1697"] how capable is 21 yr old to be caretaker for 14 yr old? especially if 14 is being homeschooled? They are so close in age and being brothes, it could be ---complicated or difficult, what if there were an emergency, and accident or whatever? leaving x number of "treats" can be a ruse, to give a head start...... so 14 is without a parent, and might be without education while mom is off where ever, maybe willingly and maybe not? You said there is no crime really, but, I am not sure if the living arrangement for 14 is criminal or neglectful or not, could be. Hard to know if the mom is a victim of a con or off the deep end, but either way sounds like she is in over her head and NEEDS help badly, one way or another. The man might be tricky enough to make her seem to be neglectful....or make it seem like she is with him willingly.....and if he can make it look like she is with him willingly, it might be harder to intervene, but maybe you could use 14 as a way to puruse tracking her etc......and help get her help she may need, but might not even realize she needs. Possible this man could have meessed with her head so much, by emotional blackmail or head games or even drugs that she may not even realize she is in danger or that her 14 is not in the best of a situation. How close of a friend are you? Are you close enough, or were you close enough at one time to take the steps that may be needed to get your friend help even if you have to have her pursued under the guise of her "abandoning" her 14? Sounds VERY bizarre, that is just SO much "changeing" of "core beliefs" in a mother to accept it as being "ok" If she held her kids THAT close to her for so many years, it is so not likely she would suddenly change THAT dramatically and now be so "hands off" HUGE red flag, something is very very wrong.
