thank you for your answer, the reason he runs to them is the freedom to come and go as he pleases, not in our home he cant there are rules to follow, forgot to mention younger brother also lives here different bio family have no problem with him. A thank-you for What<

Is he involved with any systems like children and youth services? Or even in the legal system? If he is, then whenever he does anything, you will need to contact his services and file a report. Just having the documentation on file will help you. If someone is trying to press charges on you then you can refer to these services for documented proof that this is reoccuring behavior for him.

in my opinion beyond your legal issues is you probably shouldn't do anything legally towards your kids unless you absolutely have to....i have a son 2 and he does things sometimes that i dont approve of and i take disipline as he dishes out consequences...he knows if he disobeys me he will suffer consequences what you should have done was let him run away and let him see how the real world is and let him see how hard it is without you....and the reason he is probably going to his bio parents is because he wants to know a lot of the reasons why they did what they did to him and understand that kids his age think they know everything about life and that its one big joy ride but all i can tell you is maybe your should seek child-parenting counseling it would better help you understand him and where he is coming from and why he is behaving the way that he is....hope this helped alittle good luck in court....

Your best bet is to contact a family law attorney for advice. This is a legal issue and a lawyer can steer you in the right direction. If possible, getting everyone into counseling will help you all learn how to relate to each other better. Best of luck to you.

Please. This isn't this simple and you know it. If your son has been running away to his biological family, then why don't you know why? You sound like what you want is a thank you. Well "thank you", now why don't you show real love and see if you can work out this problem without arresting this child. Does his biological family now want him back? Maybe you need to let him go. Do what's right for him, that's what unconditional love is all about.
