Well, just tell an adult. They should be able to take control without any trouble.
Charlie Gordon was not in grade school. He was a 32-year-old, mentally challenged adult who attended the Beekman College Center for Retarded Adults.
It may be reason for an appeal, but frankly, a 17 year old can be charged as an adult in many cases. If the court views the crime as an "adult crime", and the 17 year old is mentally competent, he may be transferred to the adult system.
A 'Power Of Attorney' is something that is granted by the individual giving it to up to you. If the person is "mentally challenged" it sounds like what you are seeking is "Guardianship" of the person. You must petition the court and present sufficient proof that this person is in need of having a guardian appointed and that you are the best person to perform the task. The judge will review all the facts and either grant or deny the petition.
You can get legal guardianship of an adult if he is mentally ill etc.
You are conciderd a mentally mature adult at the age of 18
Usually considered an adult mentally and physically at age two.
It can happen.
Move out! Added: (In the U.S.) Regardless of what state he lives in, at 18 he is legally considered to be an adult and, unless he is mentally or physically challenged and his parents have been awarded his guardianship, he can take control of his own life and move away from his parent's home if he chooses.
For disabled children, the courts often require support past age 18. If the child is a ward, the State might seek support to reimburse that expense.
No, a mentally incompetent adult cannot be charged with parent elder abuse, but, they must see a doctor; tested for their mental incompetence and absolved of looking after their elderly parent.
He is an adult now so unless he is mentally ill or something you can not get custody over an adult.
