My 15 year old nephew grew up in South Central Los Angeles with his Grandmother. He met his father & aunts last year. He’s been in & out of trouble & schools. A few months ago, he lost his dad’s (my brother-in-law) i-Pod, and was accused of being a “drug addict,” kicked out of his dad’s house, and told never to return (just because of an i-Pod!!). My wife (his blood-related aunt) & I brought him home with us Easter Day 2008. Now, he’s excited about doing distance schooling and working from home. He’s anxious to prove himself to us. We know all the potential he has to succeed, and all the love and respect he shows us. He’s a great kid that’s just had some really bad, big-city-luck.

My questions:

Now that we have him, how do I LEGALLY enroll him in school? How do I take him to the optometrist to get glasses? How do I take him to a doctor’s office to get a really good check-up? and on WHO’S insurance? His dad’s? or his grandmother (right now SHE has legal custody
