What is the name of your state? Indiana
My son is almost 19. He doesn't live with me and hasn't for some time now. I refuse to let him live with me because he can't stay out of trouble. Last week the police department in my city called my house looking for him and his girlfriend. I told them I had no idea where he was and he did not live in my home. Yesterday the sheriffs dept came to my home while I was at work. My 14 year old daughter was home alone. They did not have a search warrant and did not notify me. They proceeded to tell her they were going to search the house looking for my son because they had a felony warrant for theft on him. They also told her that if she knew where he was they better tell her because if they found him driving around they would pull him over with their guns drawn and he might get shot. She was absolutely scared to death. My question is did they have a right to do this when I had already told them he didn't live there and can they do that when only a minor child is at home without notifying me? This was very traumatic for my daughter. Thank you for your response.
