What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
Some relatives of mine (senior citizens like me) have 3 children living with them under a "in loco parentis", agreement done about 5 years ago when the kids came to live with them. They basically just let the kids move in so they didn't have to go to foster care. The biological mom is a crackhead and has lost custody of her other kids.
This sounds kind of mean, but my friends are not really parents to these kids. I think they regret getting themselves into it. I guess they thought it was like getting a shelter dog.
Anyway, the oldest, Elizabeth, is an A student, and a kind and wonderful child. She is wise beyond her years for terrible reasons. She just turned 17 and is a senior.
Nobody is going to help her with college. Nobody. I am on social security and just get by or I would help her.
Scholarships are few and far between, and she will only have the money she can make herself. She works at McDonalds.
Is there any chance that the state could take conservatorship under these circumstances so she can go to school?
