I have a 16 year old staying with my children and I. His father was here temporarily, after being bought out of their house. I thought the stay would be for a few months, but now the father has moved to his brother's house, and left the 16 year old here. The 16 year old has a job, but no driver's license. School is starting in 6 days, and with no way for me to contact his mother or father, I am not sure what to do.
What defines child abandonment? Is there an age restriction? I care for this kid, but he isn't mine, and I am tired of stepping up to the plate for the parent's blatant disregard for his welfare.
