[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe this would qualify as neglect if he was not emancipated. You have a responsibility to ensure his safety and care until he is 18. He's NOT 18. You would be abandoning him. That is neglect. It is not o.k. You need to arrange for his guardianship. Someone needs to be responsible for him. I do not think you can get him emancipated just because you want to leave the country. [/quote] CPS isn't going to get involved with a 16 year old who has a place to live, money, and needs being met. If they took him, he'd go into independent living which is basically a group home loosely supervised. The big issue is if he gets sick or needs help. With under 16 he may need someone to sign but he could email documents to mom and have mom sign.[/quote]
