answered on Oct 9, 2019
Depends on the statute of limitations and how much time has passed
answered on Oct 8, 2019
It depends upon the context. Is it a criminal investigation or testimony (or witness interview) in a criminal case?
If it's criminal, yes. A cop can question a minor as part of a criminal investigation.

No, but they can kick you out by evicting you. So you should have some alternative place to live if they do. They could also terminate your health insurance, car insurance, and any other support they provide. Once a person is 18, they are considered an adult, can make their own decisions, and... View More
If he gets in trouble what happens to me? Am I legally responsible for him now and if so is he suppose to be in my custody? They just had me sign him out and never explained anything to me

It’s not illegal to stay the night at anyone’s house. Five year olds have sleep overs. Since I know you know this, I also know there is more to this situation. Bottom line: before you turn 18, your mom has the right to make common sense rules like not sleeping with men. After you turn 18, she... View More
