Foster home? adoption?

Question

well my parents are not good parents they're horrible! how do i get to live some place else? i am 15 and am i able to go to a foster home? or adoption? anything! please help ASAP!

Answer 1

ur not to old to go into foster but once u go into foster home u might miss ur parents...... so here's how u do it u make ur parents beat u up then call the cops/DCFS then they might take u away or u might live wit ur relative soo............. hope that helps

Answer 2

I feel that you are mad, angry, or pissed off with your parents..

This kind of decision is a un-revisable one, meaning if you do this there is no going back!!

I wanted to know what makes them bad or horriable parents??

If there is abuse, be it physical or mental then call the police, tell a teacher, or talk to another adult..

If they do not help then call the child abuse hot line in your community or the national abuse hot line!! They can help you too!!

I would not want to go into a foster home, for my mom was sent to one at your age and it scared her for life!! Not that the people where mean or anything, just the act of having no parents!!

I say to think long and hard about your decision!!

Good luck and God Bless!!

Answer 3

foster home. you can tell the school nd they wil put you out of their now. take care.

Answer 4

Tell the school- by law they have to report it to cps. Then they will open an investigation, and if they feel you are in harms way- they will place you either in a receiving home and then a foster home. Adoption is if it is so severe the parents parental rights are terminated. this is called a .26 hearing and then you are freed for adoption. DONT DO IT JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE DISCIPLINING YOU FOR YOUR ACTIONS AT 15- only report if there is serious SERIOUS issues- drugs, molestation, abuse, physically emotionally

Answer 5

Well, a lot of it has to do with what you mean by horrible.  If there is actual abuse or neglect going on in your home, have you spoken with a teacher, doctor, nurse, school counselor or other professional who could help you?  Has there been any reason for child protective services to come in and investigate?  

You've really got to speak with someone who can be of service to you, as foster placements are made at the discretion of social services and the family court system, based on founded abuse in the home.  So, if your family situation is bad, it would probably be easiest to start with a school counselor or trusted teacher.  If there is abuse, they are required by law to report it to the proper authorities so it can be investigated.

You may be able to go live with other relatives if you, your family and a counselor sit down together and discuss such an alternative.

Answer 6

Did you just not get your own way, or are they bad? What do they do that makes them bad parents. If they are go to your school counselor etc.. Just remember any thing you say you have to be able to prove. And once it's done you just can't change your mind and just change it back.

Answer 7

Yes, if there is "enough" abuse or neglect, it is possible for the state (CPS) to remove you from your home and place you in a group home or shelter (no picnic!).  The best outcome, however, unless the abuse is severe, is for your parents (and you) to get counseling and other support services to address the issues which are hurting you.

Meanwhile, you need help.  If you are being physically or sexually abused, you can call "911" anytime!  If the abuse is "less" severe, go to your school counselor and talk to him/her.  There will be some agency connected to the school that can provide you with counseling while you and a professional decide what kind of intervention and help can be given to your parents.  

Good luck and hang in there.  You are not alone.

Answer 8

i was adopted at birth.

my mom was in foster homes since she was 5 years old.

she hated it. so try toward adoption. its permanent ur dont know when ur are gonna be bumped to a new home with fostering. u will get happy with one home then pushed into a new one out of no where.

Answer 9

Oh yeah, i remember being 15 and hating my parents too!! You wil get over it when you GROW up. You will realise they do and say things because they care about you.

Answer 10

Are they horrible like abusing you?  If so call teh authorities.  ARe they horrible such as not letting you go parties?  If so suck it up.

Answer 11

Depends on what you mean by horrible. If your are truly being abused call 911. If you just got grounded for something then you should do some research on what abuse really is. Be careful of what you wish for.
