What is the name of your state? Washington
My 15 yr old daughter is being monitored until she is 18 for truancy issues. She is totally out of control. She is sexually active, smokes, and steals money from family members at any opportunity. She is failing in school and has been suspended in the recent past for having cigarettes. She comes and goes when she chooses and stays gone for as long as she wants with out letting me know where she is. She is disrespectful and rebellious and fights with her siblings constantly. Nothing I say to her makes any difference whatsoever.
She has been staying for the last two days at a boys house and doesn't want to come home. She wants to live with this 17+ yr old boy and his mother and several other young people. All I have is a phone number for this boy, not even an address. I called over there, I found the number on the caller ID and told her that she needed to be home before 9 PM or I would call the police. I talked to the boy, the mother was at work, and told him she was not allowed to live there or stay there and If she wasn't home I would call the police. She was home a little while later but left again when I went to sleep.
Is there something I can do legally to stop the other parent from letting my daughter stay there against my wishes?
Can I do a police report and report her as a runaway if she spends the night somewhere against my wishes or without me knowing?
This is not the first time she has done this, its a consistant problem.
Thank you for your advice.
