What is the name of your state? Indiana
My son is 18 - his girlfriend is 17. Last week he up and moved in with her and her mother and her mother's new husband with their consent. He is sleeping on the sofa bed. My husband and I are against this and have told him he is always welcome back home, but he did it anyway.
This morning he showed up with the girlfriend and they told us her mom and step-dad came home last night obviously drunk and who knows what else and engaged in a violent argument. The threat of stabbing was made, so the girlfriend immediately called police.
The police showed up and arrested the stepdad but no one knows why. The mom was told she would have to appear in court on some misdemeanor drug charges at a later date, but was not arrested and taken to jail.
The mom, after police left, began yelling and fighting with her daughter, accusing her of getting everyone in trouble. This girl does not know what her mom is charged with, what the stepdad is charged with, but she does admit they have used drugs in the past and get drunk often and fight, not this bad.
My question really is this: my son is "staying there" - can he get in trouble for visiting a common nuisance or anything? What do I do now - how can I make him move out of there before he gets in trouble for being in wrong place at wrong time?
Also, the girl feels unwanted by the mom. We don't want her living here at all. She has aunts and grandparents, but doesn't want to go to them. Is there anything we can or should do? We don't believe our son is using drugs, both kids swear they never used. Please help though!
