This is a tough age. The legal steps that are available may not be the ones that you want to take.

For instance, you open a Pandora's Box by filing a CHINS petition with the Court. This could involve the Department of Social Services, an agency that will not only deal with the child's needs, by your behavior.

If you want to contact me about your options, please do so.
