Generally, once a child turns 18, he or she can be kicked out of the parents' home.\n\nIn some cases, the child doesn't even have to be 18 to be kicked out of the home.\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/Can_parents_kick_you_out_of_the_house_if_you're_under_18

Background check goes to the state police, who will have every felony from 18 years old on up - better to 'fess up now with an explanation - there is no "statute of limitations",  However, sometimes you can get a plea bargain and have it struck from your records, a local politician had his "drug dealing" struck off of his record.

There will be an investigation by Child Protective Services and if the spouse is removed from the home and you are proven not to be using, you get the children.  It is best to report them and get help now.  If you wait, it could be determined that you were aware of the meth use and did nothing.  If you do nothing, you are committing child endangerment.  It is knowing that your children are in a dangerous situation and you do nothing.\n\nSo, it is best to get them into treatment or report them to the police and hopefully shock them into getting treatment.  Most drug addicts are more into their drug than anything else including their spouse.

Depends.  First, did the police have a search warrant? If not, did someone give them permission to search? (a roommate or family member, for example).  Was the substance viewable from outside (e.g. through an open door or window that was open)?  \n\nIf you have a little money, you should retain an attorney.  It will give you some piece of mind, and he/she may be able to help before any problems arise.

As far as the law is concerned, you will likely be charged with posession at least, but possibly public drinking/drunkenness as well. As far as the school is concerned, you will likely be recommended for expulsion.

Contact your school board for a regulation book.\n\nIf it says in there that they can drug test a child without parental consent then call your local attorney and check with them that it is legal.

If she's under 18 you can get a court order for her because she is in possesion of drugs. Or for any other offense that I'm sure she's committed. Even if she's over 18, the court can order her to rehab or she can go to jail. I will tell you though, if she won't get help from you, she won't accept help from anyone else either.

TN has a law that requires anyone that has reason to believe that child abuse, neglect, or sexual abuse to report it to law enforcement.\nYou can make anonymous reports to the Dept of Children's Services.  The Child Protective Services team will start a file and follow up.\nDSC-CPS has a lot of power.  They can remove children that they think are being abused, neglected, or sexually abused.\n\nThey normally don't just bust up into your house and demand you take a drug test for no reason.  There would have to be a reason for the test.\n\nThe state of TN believes that if you engage in the use, manufacture, purchase, delivery, or sales of illegal narcotics, you are unfit as a parent.  \nHowever, they will work with you to try to help you change your ways.\nPlease note -- the emphasis is on the child's welfare, not your parental rights.

legally when your 18. At that time you can enter into contracts legally, and your responsible for your own actions and mom and dad can finally kick you out of the house.

In the United States, if the child is under 16 years of age and they are skipping school, that is called Truancy, and it is illegal. For some states it is even up to 18 years old. To find out the law for your state search Truancy Laws of _______ (the blank spot would be the state you live in). Being in a school setting outside of school, like home schooling is acceptable in every state. But the student is still tested monthly, I think, by the local public school system.

In order for it to be duress, there would have to be an explicit violent treat made or an illegal imprisonment or kidnapping.\n\nYou could argue, however, that the public school system holds a position of undue influence over a child's parents.  Because many families can not reasonably be expected to be able to afford private education or home-schooling, and because most area's truancy laws require children under the age of 16 to be receiving an education, the threat of expelsion could be a sufficient motivator to constitute undue influence, which would nulify any contract.\n\nHowever, convincing a jury that a child who tests posative for drug use should be allowed to continue to attend public schools would be a significant challenge.  I doubt that you would find an attorney that would want such a case unless there was some reason to believe that the child was singled out for reasons other than sufficient probable cause to believe that he/she was using drugs.\n\nIf there were a discrimination angle, or some kind of personal dislike for the student on the part of the official demanding the test, then you might have a case.  Otherwise, I doubt that it would go anywhere.

If the loved one is under 18 sign them into a rehab.\n\n Otherwise the only option may be to wait until they get arrested.\n\nMy daughter is a 20 year old "adult" who has dropped out for the last month and we've heard from others about her activities.  She won't tell us where she is so we can't report her activities to the police.  \n\nI hope that we get the call she is arrested before we get the other call.

I doubt it.   Unless it's one of those gov't jobs when they call everyone you ever met to ask if they think you use drugs or anything.\n\nI went to grad school, and my employers don't give a flying you-know-what about my high school days.

don't really know about american laws but in the uk i think it's legal so long as the student is above the age of consent but it's frowned upon!

I think whoever got her pregnant would be in more trouble, dependant on their age. If the guy is over 18, then that could be classed as statutory rape. As far as being expelled from school, i dont think they can do that under grounds of discrimination, however, it all depends on school policy. If she is already showing and hasnt been expelled yet, chances are that they are not going to.

for school it wont matter, they wont think anything of it but make sure you tell her if she does it in the real world she could get a fine or even jail
