Last time I checked on it, at least with a contact in CPS, if your 17 year old daughter walks out the door of her own volition, you're free to change the locks. Not so with your 17 year old son.
Be very careful about what CPS people tell you, especially when it's not in a formal, recorded situation. Sometimes, they're winging it (to put it nicely).
Good point. And, like the open carry crowd, I would seriously consider having a digital audio recording gizmo on my person at all times until he turns 18 and is safely offsite (and the locks changed) - or whatever you elect to do at that point.
Best of luck to you!
The voice recorder is a must. My father went through a VERY bad situation with his 16 y/o adopted daughter and it ended up costing him about $100k in lawyer fees and court costs to clear his good name. After the dust cleared his lawyer gave him a voice activated recorder and told him to keep it on him any time she was around. When it comes to kids and CPS a parents word isn't worth the hot breath it leaves your mouth on.
