Okay, so my mom took my little sister and I and we fled from our abusive dad. He had everything in his name, so he could have filed everything stolen if he had wanted to, now we are back in, after a very short amount of time, and mom moved back in before I did. Every Sat. night I drive him home 1.5 hrs. from his favorite bar despite conditions of weather, him, etc. Is this child endangerment?? If it is and we file on him, could he still charge us with a 'runaway' case and 'theft'? If so, how long could he put away for...and us?? Let me also add he has been emotionally abusive for nearly fourteen years.

I live in Ks. and I was forced to start driving him home at age 13...underage....I will soon be going to college and my sister, who will be 13, will have to do it, too.

10? Silly answer. Anyway, it depends on the state. If it is community property state, he does no own all even if it is in his name. Wives have rights. Your cloths are yours to the point no court would charge you. You did not run away. Your mother had the right to take you guys and flee. Her going back is the tragedy here. If you are licensed to drive you can. Not child endangerment. If he is abusing you or your sister, report him and save yourself and her, if you mother can't do it.

No crime exist relating to your mother running away with the children due to her being your mother and no custody order exist. Both parents have equal right to the kids when no custody order has been handed down by the court.
As far as driving him home during rain, etc. Do you normally drive during rain, etc. If so, how is it endangering you any more than when you drive without him?
Neither of you have a case. You are what is normally known to cops as a head ache because you help create the problem and expect someone else to clean it up for you.

Ten years for felonies and one year for misdemeanors. However you have neither. Your mother could answer for abandonedment under civil issue's but not criminal. Property obtained during a mariage regardless of who bought it is also usually seen as a civil issue. The child endangerment he exposed you to is something you would have to follow up on if it would even see the light of a courtroom, sounds more like ammo to use against him if your mother files for custody. As for the "emotional abuse" doesn't exist in a criminal court but may be something used frequently in divorce court. He has no criminal case as well neither do you or your mother.
