In some states 17 is considered to be an adult. Parents have no obligation to provide care for adult children unless there are other overriding circumstances. Maybe family counseling could shed insight? Peace to all.
Yeah but when you find them staying at the friends you don't like then you can have them arrested for running away. Can't have it both ways. Better to send them to a relative for a few days.
Why would you want to kick out a kid that young? 17 isn't old enough so a kid can support themselves, not to mention it's illegal as far as I know. I think it's legal to kick a kid out at 18, but kicking a kid under 21 out is a bad idea in 99% of cases.
