[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 469204, member: 1233"] Reality is that the age of consent in OH is 16. So no matter what these people can't be charged wtih statutory rape. You can try to supervise her 24/7, but it won't work and will drive you insane. I don't know if letting her do this will just lead to taking more risks. I have a feeling it will. You have to decide what you, and husband, can live with. there are parents who just give up, esp if they have run into situation with the police, idiots like your caseworker, and they just can't make any changes. I guess it comes down to what you can live with. regardless of if you will let her keep the phone, she needs to have the birth control implant. You really do NOT need to raise a grandchild and there is NO way she would take the responsibility and be a good parent. Not at this time. I wish I could tell you to keep going - you CAN, and I will support you, but honestly? at age 18 she is going to go nuts with the freedom and still expect you to support her. maybe you need to push her to take a job that can give her hours closer to full time work in addition to going to school. If nothing else it would keep her busy. Keep your hands on the reins of the $$ until she is 18, so that seh isn't using the $$ for drugs. I don't know the best thing to do. But if this is too hard on you, then let go. reality is that she is close to 18 and there is very little to back you up besides husband and us. the law won't help you - she can legally have sex if she wants to - with ANYONE. Sadly she has probably been told this. [/QUOTE]
