[QUOTE="witzend, post: 269817, member: 99"] That's a big mess, if you ask me. I say this because I was a kid who lived with others, my kid lived with others, and we had others' kids live with us. That being said... If this is something that you are considering at all, I would suggest that you work it out with her mom. I would also suggest that as it is May, that you wait until she graduates high school. I know that she is miserable, but it's too much turmoil to add to the mix at such an important time in her life. I'm sure that things are awful at home for her. School should be out for her in about 3 weeks, I would think. You really don't want to put yourself in the middle of this girl and her mother and have the mother sick the school on you, which I would do in a heartbeat. In fact I [I]did[/I] exactly that when M moved in with a friend's parent the May he was a senior, and the police weren't far behind. They didn't do anything to change anything, but I'm sure I made that woman's life pretty miserable. When summer break is here, this girl will be more free and clear to do as she pleases. The police won't interfere, CPS won't interfere, no one will get involved. But in your position I would do my best to have at least a cordial relationship with her mother. If something happens to her daughter while she is in your home, she can sue you. Mind you, I'm not saying that you have to come to a place where mom is happy that she is moving in with you. It [I]could[/I] be as simple as a discussion along the lines of "Your daughter is leaving your home and I hate to see her on the streets. We have offered her a bed so that she will be safe." Of course, you could only do that once the girl has made her move. But I can't reiterate enough that you should not do this while the girl is still in school. [/QUOTE]
