[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 644652, member: 1550"] Gm, even if you have to house them, read my post. That's all you really have to do other than make sure good is in the house and they have medical care if they get sick. It's not illegal to cut off every toy they have, ban the car, not give an allowance or not drive them anywhere. Nobody has to buy anything like that for any kid, regardless of age. Example: Billy is eight years old and very upset because his family is old-fashion and against all electronics. They don't even have a television. So he calls CPS to report them for "abuse." They come out to the house and see that there is food for him, he is clothed (although in thrift shop clothing, that's ok), he has a warm bed, and he has medical coverage. They leave and that's that. Some people live like the Amish. It is not against the law. We don't owe our children anything other then the ability to survive. Everything else is because we want to do it, not because we have to do it. Doesn't matter which state you are in. Heck, you could sell your car and hook up a horse and buggy and it could make your teen nuts, but it's not illegal. If somebody wants to do it, they can make their grown child who is causing problems a very boring life. [/QUOTE]
