[QUOTE="ksm, post: 733522, member: 12511"] Unfortunately, if your child is underage, and your state does not have options for out of home placement, you can and will be charged with child abandonment and neglect if you make your child leave your home and they are underage. I know,because my daughter was picked up after I reported her for not coming home. Several days later, the police picked her up, took her to juvenile intake, kept her overnight, then called me the next day to pick her up. I told her I did not think I coukd keep her safe at home. I was told if I didn't her pick up by 5pm, I would be charged with child neglect. So I picked her up. She ran again in less than a week. When she came home, I told the police she had returned, and we had a court date in 6 days. They left her at our home. She ran again, and missed the court date. Pink Elephant, putting minor kids out of your home, is not a viable option for most people. I had to go to court, because my child was deemed a Child In Need of Care. And that's even when I was reaching out to authorities for help! Then, instead of getting real help, the parents get threatened with charges. I don't know how many times I reached out to the community, slept by her bedroom door, drove all night around town hunting for my child. Only to be told that I wasn't keeping my teen safe. There isn't real help for parents with a difficult child, even when they beg for it. Ksm [/QUOTE]
