This question is regarding the boundries of DFCS by law in Georgia. I'm 17 years old and I have a girlfriend who is 15. She's at my house all of the time, sometimes leaves, sometimes stays all night. We both have consent from our legal guardians to do so. Randomly one day DFCS shows up at the school for my girlfriend. Knowing my girlfriend is a bit outspoken I figure someone that has nothing to do with anything heard my girlfriend talking about our relationship and found it inappropriate and called DFCS.
So to the point, DFCS gives my girlfriend only one major guideline to follow: no spending the night at your boyfriend's house or we will put you in a foster home.
WTF?
This seems completely outragious. I think they might just be trying to scare my girlfriend. Ive never heard of any kind of law where any person in authority can tell you where you can and can't spend the night (with the exception of parents, or if there's a restraining order involved) Im aware it is technically a misdemeanor for us to engage in intercourse, but for her to just stay over? Is this truly lawful? If the parents didnt approve I could understand a restraining order or something along those lines, but putting her in a foster home? that seems to be a bit of an enormous solution to a very small problem. Is that order not beyond the power that DFCS posseses?
comments will be greatly appreciated
thank you
