[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 459717, member: 1233"] Poor J and Jumper. It is embarrassing enough at that age to HAVe parents, but to have them do that in public, how awful! You and husband are very right that you need to stay OUT of Jumper's and J's decision to date. The ONLY thing you will accomplish is forcing her to hide the relationship and sneak around and lie. And there really are people who meet at that age and spend their lives together. NOT saying that will happen to Jumper, but it can happen. INstead, keep the lines of communication open, listen to your daughter and trust her. She and J have done NOTHING to earn your distrust or disapproval. So they don't deserve to be punished, Know what I mean?? The law where you are says a kid must live with his parents until age 18. This would have to be enforced by the cops bringing him home. I can't help but wonder if the cops would even bother to look for J as he is so close to being a legal adult? Unless he committed some awful crime, they have bigger fish to fry. While it is not appropriate for y'all to take him in, he might be able to just not go home if a friend's family or a minister would be willing to let him live with them, esp as he has a job, is a really good kid, and is likely in physical danger based on his dad punching him. Given the verbal and physical and emotional abuse, is there any chance that J would speak to someone at the DV center? Just because CPS won't do anything doesn't mean the DV center wouldn't. they would likely go to court if the parents dragged the issue that far and would testify that J is not safe in any way at that house. I am sorry you had to be verbally assaulted this way. Jumper's reaction was amazing - esp as I pray she knows she is NOT any of the things she said she was! in my opinion these people haven't seen typical teen behavior out of J, not by a very long shot. they see behavior of a teen growing up as a easy child, or maybe with a teensy tiny hint of typical teen tossed in.
