What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Idaho
My 16YO son (17 in Dec.) is giving us a hard time. At what age can we ask him to leave if he's not willing to live by our rules? At what age, if he chooses to leave, is he considered "moving out" as opposed to a runaway? What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? |

| | | its sad that you are wanting to kick him out... im pretty sure its
normal for a teen to be defiant.
if its really out of your control, send him to a wilderness program
or boarding school where they have more experience dealing with kids like
yours. i went to boarding school and it helped me alot.
but for god sakes dont just give up on your child... thats sad |
