[quote=Anonymous]Op has a LEGAL obligation to provide care and supervision to the child until the child is a legal adult (i.e. 18). She can't just say: I pronounce you an adult, kid, ...good luck! She is obligated to supervise the kid or provide appropriate supervision. She could hire someone to be his guardian or find someone to take on the responsibility out of kindness (someone like a friend's parent). It doesn't matter that tge kid is not a trouble maker. Imagine how you'd respond if OP's kid was a pain in the butt, truant, belligersnt teen and OP wanted to relocate the kid to an apartment to live by himself....how would you react then? You'd say, "OP, you have to keep raising that kid until he's 18." You can't just leave him...the state has an interest in teens being SUPERVISED....you are setting yourself up for neglect charges.[/quote]
