If they're in your car and you're driving, then yes.  I don't know about Illinois, but in California you're responsible for the passengers in your car minors or not.  If one of your passengers isn't wearing a seatbelt, you can get a ticket in addition to them getting one, even if they're an adult.  When they're not in your car (or even just if you're not driving it) you're not responsible for them unless you and their parents sign something saying you are.

Yep.. They are. Unless it involves a minor.

no your not legally an adult until your 18 and not only could your parents put him in jail but so can the state because he is messing with a minor.

It depends, whose name is the car in, and is "he" a friend, boyfriend. There are many factors in play here.  Call the local police and get some advise.

If you children are minors, then yes. You cannot just leave them there, they will report you for abandonment.\n\nIf they are legally adults, then no. You do not have to do this and I suggest that you don't. Don't let them think that you are their failsafe for committing crimes and getting bailed out. Good luck.

Probably, but it depends on which state you're in. Go to http://www.dmv.org and find your state.

depends on your state actually. a child-under the age of 8-there is discretion for criminal law. civil laws are different-you can sue anyone. what state are you in? I may be able to find you a link.

It depends on the state, but in a lot of them they can only as far as it goes to benefit the minor.  ie They can prevent mom from buying a new car, and force her to use the money on the childs medical bills, etc.

As long as you were obeying all the laws that go along with having a permit.. such as you had a liscensed driver with you, you were within your curfew, and you were observing ALL of the traffic laws, I would think you will be fine.  \n\nIf this person hit your car with his bumper.. he's at fault, unless he was supposed to be there and you weren't. And vice versa.. You may have a small fine if you were found to be the person at fault, and they may postpone your being able to receive your liscense.  But you are not going to jail.. \n\nDon't freak out.. keep your head about you.. own up to it if you did wrong, adults believe that to be a more responsible act, than someone trying to lie their way out of their responsibilities. And if they see you are honest and responsible, you will get more respect in being able to be a responsible driver and get your liscense quicker.

a cop can pull you over for anything... they can say your left back tire looks like it has less air than the others... but to search it, they can only do if your kids gives them permission or they have a warrant

Yep, just call the Department of Motor vehicles in your state.

Firstly, a point of clarification -- despite popular belief one is not "automatically" at fault for rear-ending someone.  I have no idea where this myth got started but there is no such presumption in the law (at least not in California.)\n\nOther than that, a determination of liability is not so cut and dry.  In your case, it sounds like your liability may be minimal.  Under what is know as the "imminent peril" doctrine, you would not necessarily be liable because you were initiating emergency manuevers.  Your standard of care is lowered in that case.  \n\nBut, this certainly won't stop someone from suing you.  But you shouldn't worry.  If you have insurance, your insurance company will hire an attorney for you and protect your rights.  \n\nHonestly, I wouldn't stress about it too much.  Unless you don't have insurance, in which case you should talk to a lawyer A.S.A.P.

If you have not signed over your rights as a parents, then as far as AZ law goes, yes you could be responsible for UP TO half of the damages. I'm not familiar with Ohio laws though.
