Can I keep my 16yr old out of a group home

What is the name of your state? CA
My daughter was on probation for trustpassing in a public mall and she ran off with a 40 yr old man to SF from LA. In LA was going to highschool straight A student and was working at a store. She is now in Juvenile Hall until her court date Jan 24 and they are going to send her to a group home. She says she loves this 40yr old and is going to run away from the group home.

Your daughter should not be allowed to remain in your care as you have demonstrated a marked inability to control your child. That you would even post this question is bizarre!

I would advise directing your energies elsewhere, on the off-chance that her going to a group home might not be the problem here.

Let the probation officer know that she is planning on running away from the group home when she gets there. They will make sure she stays in juvenile hall.

have you filed charges against this 40 year old man??????

**A: the mother can't file charges, only the state can. The mother can certainly file a civil lawsuit or shoot the man. What the heck is trustpassing?

I think VL meant did OP file a complaint with the PD...

Honestly, it seems to me that no one has control over this child and she needs to be somewhere where someone isn't afraid to put their foot down...

**A: yes. that's it.

yes that is what I meant

The 40 year old male should be facing charges unless he has yet to do anything they can charge him with. If he encourages her to run away, or harbors her after she does, he could then be charged.
