Yes, they can. That is there free choice as an adult. And they need not go to school any more, either.
A parent can do little more than keep the lines of communication open. Don't yell, don't command, don't disown. And certainly don't forbid the boyfriend, that just makes teenagers cling the harder.
Let the child know that no matter what, when she is in trouble, she may return at once, with no lectures or punishment. This will help keep her safe, and giving her the strength to know she can flee the abuse if she needs to.
A child is no longer considered a minor in Oklahoma once they turn 18 years old.
Yes, until the child reaches the age of majority (usually 18), the parents are legally responsible for the child. This includes providing financial support, housing, and meeting other basic needs. Factors like quitting school and living with an of-age partner don't automatically emancipate the child.
The school is responsible for the child from door to door, but if your child has a fight after school the school is in charge of the child and will suspend or do the necessary thing according to the school rules. All children, unless involved in a school function and activity, need to go home when school is out. School's are not baby sitters.
Here it will have to be first found out why the child ran away from home, then if he has parents who are both either drug addicts , have drinking problems or abusive to him, then it is better that they who he ran to enroll him in school.
In Oklahoma, a 16-year-old mother may be able to move out with parental consent or through involvement of child protective services if it's deemed necessary for the child's safety and well-being. It's important to consider the legal implications and potential support systems before making such a decision.
They cannot move out legally. If she is abusive, she can apply to the court for emancipation or to be moved to foster care.
A boyfriend or stepfather has no legal right to the child so no, you can not.
maybe she has low self esteem, maybe she's pregnant and doesn't wanna fight for custody of the child, maybe she thinks she deserved it
No, but you can give your opinion. Do you have a father who can file for custody?
no if she is 18 and not in collage.z
Abusive and controlling. He needs to get some help. That is not a healthy relationship. One person should never be the parent. Both partners are equals. If you don't think he'll get help, or if you ask and he refuses, you need to leave him. It's not healthy to live that way. It will probably just get worse and could turn into physical abuse. By transforming you into "his child", your boyfriend is avoiding adult, mature intimacy - while maintaining absolute control over you. Both are abusive behaviors. Yes. He's being controlling and establishing power over you.
If a child wants to live with the child's boyfriend, then the child needs to be 18.
Possibly. In this case, it doesn't appear that the child is "emancipated."
When the child is 18.
