Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Don't really know what the header would be

I am wondering what if any ramicifacations could be for a 19 year old who is seeing our 15 ( not alone ) and moves into our house where the minor lives because his parents are not paying him and threatening to kick him out on the streets. He would be sleeping downstairs and her upstairs where one or both parents are almost always home. Since the Mom ( the 19 year old's)is very unsable, I would almost bet she would try and get her son (19) in trouble for nothing. If she does make false alagations what can happen? I hope I am making sense. We are trying to help him out by getting his high school diploma. There is nothing going on between the two other then hand holding and maybe a quick kiss. They are mostly at our home and we do not consider them dating, but the kids might think they are. Please help. Thank you!

Re: Don't really know what the header would be

The 19 year old is an adult dependent child. Who is going to support him? If you are on a voluntary basis, that's fine. At this point in time, the boy has a right to live whereever he wants to unless he is impaired or otherwise debilitated mentally or physically. Have you spoken with the boy's parents? What do they say? Will they help with his support?
