Question: I have a boyfriend, 16 yrs. old, who is believed to being mentally abused by his parents. He truly believes that his parents do not care about him. His dad recently told him that he is kicked out of the house. The dad said he is going to put him into foster care. My boyfriend wants to live with me or at one of my friend's house. Both of our parents have said it was ok since they know how his parents treat him.  Who takes responsibilty if he leaves his house and lives with a friend? What are his rights?

Answer: If you truly believe he is being abused the way to report is through Child Protective Services (CPS) or call 800.767.2445. They will look into the matter and place him with a family. If your family or your friends family want to take him in then you can speak with an attorney or CPS to determine the best way to go about it.
