This question has nothing to do with me. I was just wondering.
You know how some kids parents kick them out of the house, well is that even legal?

I'm not a parent so I won't kick anybody out.

Honestly no it is not legal. If they are under the age of 18 the kids are not even allowed to run away. If the parent kicks them out before they are 18 they better be aware of the conciquences there will be. Like paying for any damage the kid does while out.

I don't think a parent, can boot a child out of the house, but it depends on age and circumstance.
If a child of mine refused to obey, and they were under 18, they would be sent to live with one of my siblings and theirs to me. We already had this arranged, when the kids were in diapers.
I live in a totally different state than my brother and sister. They in turn, live on opposite sides of the same state. We figured that the kids friends may influence them, towards unacceptable practices. So that's why we came up with the move em' around idea.
My sister had to send her 14 year old "I'm gonna do what I want" daughter to my brothers. She was sneaking out of the house at all hours and couldn't control her.
Well, after moving her close to 400 miles, that stopped. It seems her friends couldn't or wouldn't, get rides to visit her. As she was new to my brothers area, she had no where to go. Plus my brother is a bit of an ******, so she wasn't going to cross him.
She lived with him for almost a year, went back home and morphed into a young lady, instead of a hellion.
Now, if their 18 years old, they better watch the old P's and Q's, or their sleeping in a dumpster.

Buy a newspaper, look at the help wanted section. Get a job, any job that you're qualified for. Heck get 2 jobs. 18 year-olds get hired anywhere. Lucky! Anyways, get a Kroger Plus Card and you should be ok. Cheap apartment, non-lavish spending for 4 months. Wow.

They can. I think they can declair their teen an "At risk" person and they will be put into foster care. The teen can also find another home.
If the teen is 18...then they are considered and adult and parents can demand they leave to start their own adult life.

it depends on the state you live in...however, if a parent is upset enough to kick their teen out, they should go to a counsellor and tell them about the anger and get help for them and the teen...families should stick together and help one another...the world is bad enough without fighting at home...

If it's under 18 yes it is. If it's 18 and over then no it isn't illegal.
