teenager
If my 17 yr old son moves out, because he doesn't want to follow the rules, like going to school etc...decides to move back in a few months later, by law do we have to let him back in since we are responsible for him until he's 18?

Re: teenager
A person under the age of 18, remains the responsibility his/her parent(s) or guardian(s). A parent/guardian has a legal duty to provide adequate food, clothing, shelter, or medical care and to intervene to eliminate risks of harm to a minor when s/he is able to do so and has, or should have, knowledge of the risk.
