You might want to meet with me in person and pay me $1 a minute to talk about your situatin.

You are not an adult until the moment you turn 18 on Feb. 12, 2011. So, techncially, you are a child having a baby.

I don't understand why you are receiving social security.

I believe that food stamps belong to her. If you want them, then you will need to apply for them. I don't know if you can collect them if you are under 18.

I don't believe CPS will do anything if you leave home.

I would call your local sheriff, constable and police and see their commander's policy regarding 17 year old.

If you want to talk directly, email me at [email protected]
