Posted by afeldtman
Ok so i am 16 and ive been just going through alot with my mom lately. She tried to make me gt a 100 cash in advance ( ihave a job she doesnt) and she took my wallet with my credit card in it. Everytime i gt money she wants it or takes it and make a long story short ijust want to leave and live with another fAmily member bt my mom will not approve of it. If ijust leave and dont come back bt attend school and work regulary what wil happen? Can u guys make me come back?
Dear afeldtman,
What you describe sounds like a frustrating and difficult situation for you. Hopefully, your mom will be able to get a job soon so that the situation is improved. Because you’re a minor, I wouldn’t advise you leaving your home unless you had permission from your mom to stay somewhere else. If you were to leave and she reported you as a missing person, then the police would be involved. They would probably take you back to your house unless there were very unusual circumstances. The best thing for you to do is to focus on your future, do well in school and with your job, and before you know it, you will be an adult, and better prepared for the future.
Officer Michelle
