The holidays are coming and I would like to visit my in-laws at Thanksgiving and my parents at Christmas, both would be out-of-state trips.
My troublesome 17 year old daughter decided today that she's not willing to go on either vacation.
I know I can't physically force her into the car because that would be simple assault. But, she insists that we give her a key to the house while we're gone. If I refuse to give her a key and she breaks in to the house while we're on vacation, is that punishable by law? Could I be charged with something for not letting her into the house?
FWIW - We have no other family in town that she could stay with.
How would you handle this situation?
