Nope, 18 years old, they can do what they please.

If you're the mom, shame on you for thinking about arresting your own kid for trying to become their own person.

If you're the child, congratulations you're free from that oppressive misery.

No. At 18, your child can make this decision legally. Your child hasn't broken any laws. If your child is living away from you because s/he doesn't want to live with you, the best you can do is to try to mend your relationship. Threatening arrest won't do it.

Agree with everyone else. 18 is a legal adult, not a child.

if the family is drug pushers, does illegal activities, etc., and you know about this then you can be an accessory. But, you can just lie and be like "WHAT!?!?!" but on any other grounds, no she can't, because you're and adult now.


P.S. if you're the mother then, that shows how good of one you are....


But, if you the 18 year old and your mom did do some serous shyte...good for you!

No. An eighteen year old is an adult not a child. And an eighteen year old can live where he or she wants to live regardless of whether the mother agrees.

18 is an adult. A parent would have no legal rights.

No.
why would you want your own child arrested anyway?
my mother did that to me when i was 15
i moved at 18 and havnt spoken to her in 2 years.


Wayne W
no she's an adult. let it go. kinda sad though, your child doesnt wanna live with her own family. says alot about you.

Not unless that child is declared mentally incompetent. In every state that I know of, an 18-year-old is legally an adult.
