Q: My son, who is 15, has snuck out 3 times in 2 weeks and went to 12 year old girlfriend's house and lied about location.
For the last 2 weeks my son who is 15 has snuck out and went to his girlfriend's house who is 12 and lives with her mom. The first time he left on Friday and finally got him to come home on Monday. And when asked if he was there by my dad the girlfriend and an adult male that was there lied to my dad and said he was not there and they had not seen him in days but he had been there and was there at that time. The second time was Tuesday, the next day, and the mother of his girlfriend picked him up while I was gone and I got him to come back the next day. The mother was told the day before that he was not allowed and that he did that without permission and he was grounded. Now the third time is where I'm at now and he left on Friday in the middle of the night and it is now Wednesday and he won't answer my messages or calls or anything. There are social media posts showing him in bed with her. I need to know all rights of everyone involved and can I press charges against the mother?
A: Take a beyond control petition to get him picked up and into court. You can consider other charges against other people as the facts shake out.
