Indianapolis, IN asked in Child Custody and Criminal Law for Kentucky

Q: Sent my teen to military school. They came home and got right back into drugs.. should i emancipate them? Need help

I've called police to try to remove people from my home because of drug use and activity while I'm at work. Can't get help from the police without leaving work and risking my job. I do have 2 othe kids to support. Military school didn't seem to help, should I just emancipate them and let them learn on their own? I don't know what else to do to try to help them
