What is the name of your state? south Carolina.
so this family moved in next door. its a mother and three kids. the husband is still living in another state and might not be coming down any time soon if at all. the eldest daughter is 17. and is currently refusing to go to school, quit her job,doing community service for possession of stolen jewelry when she lived in new york. she ran away from her mother and went to Miami for a month where she worked as a waitress got some tattoos and piercings. my parents being the good Christian that they are , are trying to help her mom by consoling her. they want me to speak to the daughter and i want to help i also want to know if there is a law to make her attend school I'm pretty sure there is.. any advice?

If you don't even know the law, then you are MOST certainly NOT in a position to be of any help.

what injustice are you even talking about?

and how old are YOU?

By the way, mandatory school attendance is from 5-16 in South Carolina. So her quitting is not illegal.

It isn't illegal for her to quit her job either.

Nor is it illegal for her to perform community service for her crimes.

Unfortunately it isn't illegal to be a NOSY NEIGHBOR either, but it is annoying.
