Your child CAN be made a ward of the state. It depends on the situation. If you are having difficulties with your child and he or she is causing hardship upon the family, then I don't see it being a problem if presented to the courts. The taxpayer does NOT pay for your child; you will be expected to and WILL pay child support (and provide medical insurance) for said child until that child turns 18 years of age. So, if you think you can just give the child up and then all responsibility is gone - it's not going to happen.

∙ 9y agoA responsible adult in the family should try to contact the childs social worker and express their interest in becoming the childs permanent guardian. That person would need to file a petition to be appointed the childs guardian in the probate court. That step should not be taken lightly but only if the adult wants to provide the child with a loving, stable home, financial support, address medical, emotional and education needs and step in as the childs parent.
If possible they should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody and guardianship issues. An attorney could help the process go more smoothly and possibly more quickly since they would be familiar with the court and the process.
