What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? north carolina
I am legal gaurdian for my 17 yr old step grandson. He is skipping school,extremely disrespectful,lies, did smoke pot ( not sure if he is now or not) last drug test was negative. he's been gone for 2 days now, we had an arguement, the school called he had skipped again, i told him he was grounded, he informed me that I had no control over him and he could do whatever he wanted and go where ever he wanted, and there's nothing that i can do about it, and he walked out the door. This is the 1st time he's took off. He's headed down the wrong road,this I know. Counciling I truly dont believe will help,beacause he's the type child that will sit and tell you whatever he thinks you want to hear just to shut you up. He won't be 18 for 10 more months. His mother is dead, his father is who knows where,lft when child was 2 months old,(he and she never married) Child's biological family has not ever been in the picture for him. They did not want him. I was awarded custody of him when he was 2,I have loved and raised him since. He's a very intelligent boy
( let me be clear in this, I was married to the childs biological grandfather, but had been divorced from him for yrs before ,i got custody of my stepgrandson, his mother brought him to me when she could not longer care for him) so, with all this being said , plz advise me of what i can do.
