Q: We filed incorrigiblity charges on 15 yo step son. Refused to go to court, was recited. Until then what can we do?
He is drinking smoking weed and refuses to do anything we ask. He steals from my purse . Has missed around 30 days of school...out of 38 . He laughs at his dad when he tells him to do something... help we feel trapped by his bad behavior and lack of options.
A:
Have you talked to DHS about this? It appears now that he is a "Delinquent Child". The Court can order him placed in an environment where he can't get weed or alcohol, and must attend school. You should consult with an experienced family law attorney in your county to help with this ASAP.
