My husbands 16 year old son is about to become a father.There are alot of problems,not only b/c of his age.The girl is 15.She had another child at age 13. The fathers parents has custody.She is in juvenile custody for running away and doing drugs,(yes while preg.).She is in rehab right now.She says her step brother raped her and that her home life is bad.I was wondering if we should fight for custody of the child? My step son supposibly lives with his mom,but is never home.Lives with friends etc.Got caught stealing vodka from walmart,admits to drugs and alcohol.I am deeply concerened.His mom does drugs with him and has beeen in trouble with CPS alot.What should we do?
2 months ago I wrote about his misbehavior and got the rocks thrown at me.Nobody believed his behavior,and thought I was in the wrong.WELL HERE WE ARE a 16 and 15 having a baby. SO think before you blame others.
Obviously the girls mom would not be fit to have custody if she can’t prevent her own daughter from being raped by her step-son.
I really do not want to take this child completely away from his/her parents.The girl did not go to rehab of her own choosing,the juvenile office put her there.My step son lived with us until May of 2006.He became aggressive so that he could go back and live with his mom,b/c he knows she won’t even try to discipline him.We took the police to get him in Novemeber b/c he lived 70 miles away and mom said she couldn’t handle him.The officers took him to his moms and she of course gave in to him,so the police said legally there was nothing my husband could do.We begged the ex to send him to rehab or a behavioral hosp. but she again refuse.The aggression got so bad when he lived with us that he actually drew a knife on the school on 2 2nd grade boys for calling him by his real first name.We did send him to a behavioral hosp,and when he got out he physically attacked his dad.
