Legal Question in Family Law in New York

We live with my husband's 17 year old son. He is a pot smoker, drinker, theif, has been in trouble with the law. He has no job, will not go to school. I know we are responsible for him but I want to know if we can lock him out of the house during the day since he should be at school or work anyway and we have to work cant be home to supervise. We are afraid that he will bring his friends and do things in the house and we are ultimately resposible. We dont want him in the house without supervison??? Please help
