Emancipation

Re: Emancipation

Give it some time. Your mom is being unrationally upset, and will probably calm down and beg you to come back.

If that doesn't happen then talk to someone who is knowlageable about Canadian emancipation laws, and move back in that way.

Thanks!! Until then I will stay with my friend, his parents don't care and it might be fun. :P

Re: Emancipation

You live in Canada, so I don't know.

Here if (depending on the state) you can't leave home like that.

Dude, your friend's mom can be charged with kidnapping.
Usually that leads to an investigation, which means legally police can go into that residence and physically pull you out, and search the house.

Anything unsafe to you or your friend will be charged against her as child endangerment, so if you want to get owned like that, go ahead.

Re: Emancipation

Oh, call this flaming or not, it's a lesson.

You are 13, and I've had problems with my mom since I could talk.

I understand you're a pretty smart kid and you're PROBABLY smarter then your mom, but there is no need to show it, my mom is boarderline retarded, but in her house, it's her rule.

You are 13 and I'm not going to lie, it's your mom's fault, if she can't keep control of you that's her fault, so chances are you guys wont have a permanant fix, so my suggestion is submit like a bitch.

Re: Emancipation

Talk to an official at your school, probably a counselor. They'll know the legal ramifications of what is going on with your situation because they're trained to handle things like that.

Your mom kicking you out because she suspects you were skipping school is ridiculously counterproductive.

Re: Emancipation

Thanks Stretchy and Whalerot! I was unaware how illegal this was. She just told me she was going to set up an appointment in court and she wanted me OUT OF THE HOUSE before she gets home from work, and she doesn't want to see me until court day, and I'm kind of scared what will happen if I stick around. I would see a counselor in school, but today was our last day.

I might go to Lutherwood, it's where I meet my psychologist every couple days. If I tell him, he might do something.

nice job pointing out things we all know.

Soul, I have a friend who went through this, but in a much worse situation. He was sent to live with the closest living relative and put on house arrest. He didn't really support himself in court at all though, so it would be in your best interest to prove to the judge that you aren't a danger to yourself or family, and that your mom is just overreacting.

Maybe you're right. I don't have a problem not living at home, but I don't want to live with someone who thinks I'm a lier.

By the way, counterproductive means she was trying to make me do something (like going to school) and what she did was effect that in a negative way even more, right?

[stretchypanda]

Re: Emancipation

Pretty much. If she removes you from her reign (by kicking you out) she doesn't really emphasize the importance of going to school.

I mean, this sounds ridiculous. If you're representing your own actions accurately, it sounds as if she's just unleashing anger on you because you're a target. If you talk to an adult, you can hopefully get someone to at least observe your situation and decide if you're safe and receiving the best care in your home.

Liar*

No wonder you're getting an A-.

Jokes.

Re: Emancipation

Thanks a bunch, Stretchy! You made me think about some of my past groundings of how she pins things on me without any evidence whatsoever. Even if it was obviously one of my brothers that committed the crime. I don't see why she would act that way, though. Tough days at work, she gets a kick out of it, she just doesn't like me, etc.

Plus yeah, sorry about that liar typo. I guess I just wasn't thinking. >.<

Stop feeding the damn fire, stop bringing up stuff already discussed, you're just going to make this thread drag on longer, it's over, leave it.

Re: Emancipation

If your mom is trying to kick you out at that age, you have rights. Up until a certain age, parents are legally obligated to care for their children -- otherwise other measures are taken. If a child is a problem, then there are things like juvenile hall and foster homes (which is what happened with my cousin -- she was violent and they had to basically kick her out at 15).

In this case, what your mom is proposing is absolutely ridiculous and wouldn't hold up in any court. Even if she did bring it to court (which would be a monumental waste), record proof from school would probably exist to clearly indicate that her speculations are without merit.

Since you, as a minor, are not allowed the same kind of rights, responsibilities, and legal obligations (and financial functions) as an adult, you won't be expected to be self-sufficient, especially when you have a mother who is obviously throwing a big temper tantrum. If they find your mother to be irrationally crazy and/or a huge liability or danger to your upbringing, then they may put you in a foster home or some equivalent.

But no, getting forced out at 13 over something like that is ludicrous, and the courts would certainly back you up if it got to that point.

Re: Emancipation

Foster homes are the worst things in the world because all foster parents do is abuse and neglect and there is nothing you can do about it (or so I HEAR). >.<

Thanks a lot though, Rubix. You're all helping me a lot, I'm kind of tempted to show mom this thread when she gets back from work (despite her not wanting to see me).

EDIT: It is kind of a dumb reason, eh? She gets worked up when I get anything less than an A though. She needs me to do very well, but now that the school year is over (and my worst grade is Science at A-) there is nothing I can do.
