Dear Law Guru Friend,
You can surely ask them to do so.
However, he is not a juvenile at age
17, and he probably has committed
no crime in leaving home. Although
he might have the right to sue the
cops when he reaches age 18 for
false arrest, he surely would not
sue his own father for taking action
to bringing him back to the ones
who loved him and cared for him.
I shall be happy to discuss this
matter further with you, if you will
but e-mail me your name and
phone number. Of course, there
is and will be no charge.
Sincerely,
Hardy Parkerson, J.D.
