It depends on the situation and the state you live in. The easiest answer is: You are responsible for anyone if anything occures on your property. As far as being legally resposible as far a school or something of the sort goes, you are responsible only if that child lives in your home. And if it has to do with school, and you are recieveing fines for the child, you need to contact you local police department and inform them of the child's status (that they are not living at home) To sum it all up, NO you are not legally resposible for that child, unless court ordered otherwise. I hope that is what you are looking for...maybe try to be a little more specific.

Are Parents legal responsibility for college education?
If the child is still living in their parents house - yes. If the child is living in their own place - no. Whilst the child is living with their parents - the parents are legally responsible for the child's education costs. A college education is not a mandatory parental responsibility like room and board and primary and secondary (high school) education. Therefore parents are not legally required to sponsor a child's college education. Parents are legally responsible for college education costs only if they were involved in the college enrollment and signed forms committing themselves to be responsible for the college tuition and other costs.
