If your rights were terminated and the child was adopted to another then it is very rare that you can get rights restored. There are a couple exceptions but those are extremely hard to prove and validate. As such the other parents have ultimate say over their child. Contact an adoption attorney to... Read more »
He has run away 9 times in less than a week. He finds people who give him money, buy him toys and even gets food.
He is completely out of control and every single day we’re dealing with the police, sometimes multiple times a day.

He is 15 and under the impression he can come and go as he wishes without telling anyone what he is doing. I've read that you can contact the police each time he is not where he is supposed to be and then eventually file a youth in crisis in court, but I am unsure if this is applicable in my...

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. Emancipating is a difficult process and one that is not often used. It requires a "next friend" (an adult who will not work against your interests) to file a petition in court and give notice to your parents. The judge will decide at a... Read more »

I'm a 17 year old which is above the legal age requirement for working in my state. But she says she can call and quit for me without my consent. Can she? Or would I have to do it since me working is legal?

How much trouble can a parent get if my counselor found out that my parents lets my underage brother and his friends To drink and smoke and drive without a license and even buying the smokes for them
And letting them drink but don’t buy it for them

I see that many teenagers describe their home as toxic, not enough freedom, controlling parents, or any one of a long list of other grievances. So, that part is not uncommon.
However, if there legitimately is abuse and/or neglect and this is not just a disgruntled teenager, this should be... Read more »
