My rights were terminated long before they found his father to get him to take our son. He was in Foster care when my rights were terminated. My son's father has had him for 8 years and somehow got child support ordered and visitation ordered AFTER my rights were terminated. I don't see... View More

Termination of parental rights does not terminate your obligation to pay support. You cannot sue for child support at this point because you have no rights to the child.
answered on Mar 27, 2018
Probably not. They generally do not send juveniles to jail except for the most serious offenses. But, they are going to want to ensure that you have a stable home while you are on probation so you may well be sent home.

My son was riding his bike at 1:30am on a Saturday night during Spring break and was arrested by Grove PD for curfew violation. I can not find any information about what time the City of Grove curfew is, how can they enforce a law that is posted nowhere accesible to parents. They then assaulted him... View More

Yes, they can. Have you checked with the Grove City Clerk on the ordinances? They are required to be filed in the County law library in Jay.

DCS may remove you from your mom if they find out. Your mother letting you live with your boyfriend is not appropriate supervision, especially if your boyfriend is over 18.

NEED MORE INFO.........IE POLICE REPORT ETC
YOU ARE A MINOR AND IF THIS IS HANDLED IN JUV CT THEY CAN ONLY KEEP YOU UNTIL YOU ARE 25.........THAT IS WORST CASE SCENARIO.......................
answered on Mar 25, 2018
Yes, but the charges may be filed in the juvenile court and not the criminal court. File the report with the police, and the DA wil determine how to proceed.
We moved past the situation but I'm now looking for justice against him for taking advantage of me when I was a child.

You may contact law enforcement in the city where the events took place. Good luck.
It happened at school and same kid has been suspended before for beating up kids for no reason. He stabbed my kid in the leg intentionally and with premeditation. I want to know what I can do legally because school doesn't seem like they are doing anything other than suspending him again.
answered on Mar 23, 2018
He can be charged as a juvenile. Request a meeting with your local district attorneys office in regards to potential juvenile criminal charges.
It's not clear that the school has power to do anything other than suspend him.

If DCS states that an incident that occurs with two kids under the age of 13 is not considered abuse, how do some kids get put on the sex offender registry? And some of them get sent to detention centers. Does it depend on the incident, I know rape and fondling are vastly different.
answered on Mar 22, 2018
Yes, generally placing a juvenile on the sex offenders registry is incident-specific
answered on Mar 22, 2018
Yes, you can get in trouble. Sex with a minor (under age 18) if the perpetrator is not more than three years older or younger than the victim is a misdemeanor.

From your description - I'd say its already resolved. If you are considering suing or think expulsion is appropriate - odds are you aren't really trying to resolve things peaceably. These days law enforcement and school administrators take these kinds of things likely too seriously so... View More

The arrest may be legal, but any statement given by your son may be inadmissible as evidence. Call a local attorney. Good luck.
answered on Mar 22, 2018
Yes, but it depends on the context on whether any statement provided would be admissible ae evidence. School discipline is totally different than criminal/juvenile prosecition.
answered on Mar 21, 2018
You will be charged with trespass, possibly criminial mischief, perhaps other charges--breaking and entering. Don't do it.
answered on Mar 21, 2018
The same as if he was an adult. His potential sentencing options could be lighter, depending on his record.
answered on Mar 23, 2018
Options include (1) alerting the police, who will probably contact this individual and tell him to cut it out; (2) taking away her phone; (3) contacting your phone company to block his number from her phone; (4) seeking a civil protection order.
